You may have spotted two fantastic new art installations which are brightening up the streets and subways of Newton Abbot. The artworks have been partly funded by the Teignbridge Arts Project (TAP). ‘The Community Tree’ on Golden Lion Square (opposite Newton Abbot Library), was created by local landscape graffiti artist Joe Webster aka Enuf and was inspired by a giant oak tree, felled to make way for the war memorial a century ago. The 16-metre-high artwork, which took 5 weeks to paint, focusses on the local community’s relationship with nature and is a collaborative effort, with workshops for community groups and local schools held to gather input from residents of all ages. The project is a collaboration between the people of Newton Abbot, Rotary Newton Abbot, Action on Climate in Teignbridge, Significant Seams and artist Joe Webster aka EnuF. The subway on Keyberry Road in Newton Abbot has been transformed into a spectacular multi-sensory artwork installation. Covering one side of the subway is a mural measuring over 29 metres in length by local artist Caroline Brady and on the opposite side is a series of photo collage panels created by the Newton Abbot Museum’s community engagement officer and local community artist, Kate Green. Pedestrians passing through can also listen to history recording of the railway workers sharing stories about their time on the railways by scanning the QR code in the subway. Both installations are partly funded by the Teignbridge Arts Project (TAP), which last year supported 32 new arts and culture projects across the district providing £260,000 of funding through the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (#UKSPF).

Our budget plans for 2025/26 were approved at a meeting of our full council on 25 February 2025. Members approved a 2.99% increase in council tax for the upcoming year, resulting in an additional 11p per week (£5.87 annually) for the average Band D property. The increased revenue will support essential services including refuse and recycling collections, planning, and housing support. Our recent public consultation on the budget revealed that 78% of respondents were in favour of raising council tax to support our communities, and 85% of respondents agreed with our priorities – affordable housing, good local jobs, climate change and the economy. Thank you very much to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Council tax bills in Teignbridge include contributions not only to the district council but also to Devon County Council, Devon & Cornwall Police, Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority, as well as town and parish councils. For every pound of council tax collected, just 8p in the pound is allocated to Teignbridge. As part of the approved budget, there will be a 5% increase applied to annual grants for Teignbridge CVS, Citizens Advice Teignbridge, and both Dawlish and Newton Abbot Community Transport Associations.
