The aim of MCTi is to create vibrant, healthy and sustainable market and coastal towns in the South West by helping local communities and their partners to:

  • Prepare Community Strategic Plans, balancing the economic, social and environment aspects of community life in their towns and surrounding rural areas
  • Develop the skills, strengths and knowledge needed to be effective partners
  • Share good ideas and learn from local, regional, national and international experience
  • Secure the funding and professional assistance to turn these plans into reality. 

The initiative will help Market and Coastal towns and their surrounding communities to identify priorities for the future of their area, to gain the skills necessary to take action, and then to implement their plans. It will help co-ordinate activity of local and regional agencies and provide a 'gateway' to funding programmes. See the Market & Coastal Towns Association web site at http://www.mcti.org.uk/

The Honiton MCTi Steering Group covers a range of public service, business and community interests.  It drives the local initiative forward, drawing on the work of several focus groups: 

  • Housing & Community Facilities
  • Sport & Leisure
  • Business & Economy
  • Transport & Infrastructure
  • Rural Communities

Each convener/facilitator is a member of the Steering Group and reports back to that Group. The steering group and focus groups are supported by a part-time Community Agent - tel 01297 625554.
