Transport Planning

Teignbridge and Newton Abbot Infrastructure

The Teignbridge - Newton Abbot Infrastructure Package is a proposal by Devon County Council to:

  • Enable faster housing development and urgently needed new employment land.
  • Improve public transport links between residential areas in Kingsteignton and employment, retail and community facilities in Newton Abbot within the Strategic Growth Point area.
  • Create a critically needed high quality walking and cycling link between Kingsteignton and Newton Abbot to reduce short distance vehicle trips and form a key part of the National Cycle Network in the area and the first stage of a green corridor towards Dartmoor.
  • Reduce congestion and improve journey times for public transport and reduce air quality problems in Kingsteignton and Newton Abbot Air Quality Management Areas.
  • Create a stronger and more attractive retail and community centre to the town which is currently dominated by traffic and form the first phase of an emerging masterplan to create a sustainable urban extension at Kingsteignton.

The scheme generates wider economic benefits by reducing congestion in the centre of Kingsteignton and improving the reliability and frequency of public transport.
