The following projects will help with delivering the strategic aims:

Projects in delivery phases – what is already happening

 
 
  • Ley of the Land. Run by WestDEN, the fourth stage of this project began in October 2003. It has been highly successful in identifying and meeting the training needs of young people seeking work in land-based industries.

Projects in planning phases – what is being planned
  • Tavistock youth café. This is intended to be a place that is safe and warm where young people can meet their friends. Without a suitable meeting place at present, large numbers of young people are congregating in the Meadows and their safety is of concern. The project has been developed under the auspices of the Youth Council, with much of the work being done by young people, and it is approaching the funding-ready stage.
  • Taviskate. This project is looking to improve on the existing skate ramps in Benson’s Meadow, with the aim of attracting better and safer skateboarding.
  • Music rehearsal space. A dedicated rehearsal and recording facility is being studied to encourage more young people to learn an instrument but the facility is also intended to strengthen Tavistock’s position as a centre of musical excellence.
 
Projects in concept phases – what is being talked about
  • Princetown farm. Dartmoor Prison is returning to the Duchy of Cornwall its lease on a farm near Princetown. There may be opportunities to use the buildings and land to teach moorland farming skills and perhaps establish a centre for finishing and marketing locally-grown products such as wool or timber.
