North Devon Council announced a while ago that, following new legislation, it was considering closing its three quays. These are Town Quay and Rolle Quay in the town and Fremington Quay further down the Taw. Closing these quays is an important step considering their historical significance and it will bring to an end any commercial or leisure use of the quays.
If you are interested in the future of these quays, the Council is running a public consultation from 17 October 2025 to 5 January 2026. You can respond with your views on their website here.
Taw Torridge Estuary Forum intends to respond.
