In the South Hams the 5 larger towns (Ivybridge, Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Salcombe) were involved in the Market & Coastal Towns Initiative (MCTi), which helped to kick start their communities into developing community plans.

The plans that resulted from the above process are being taken forward by the following four groups:

1. Dartmouth and District MCTi - plan published July 2004

2. Ivybridge Regeneration Group - plan published August 2004

3. Kingsbridge & Salcombe Area Partnership - plan published December 2003

4. Totnes & District Community Partnership - plan published January 2004
