I used to live nearby & I dare say it hasn't changed ; it can't really as it's just lots of houses ( no community & quite bland ). Hope that helps !

Here's an amusing piece from Knowhere, on Torquay pubs.
"Dont go to crazy horse in paignton,ull walk out with a broken leg, or Royal Standard in hele,torquay(i always wondered who was the idiot when naming areas that Hele was given, when HELL was the obvious choice, mayb a mispelling.Yes dont go to royal standard, infact dont go Hele!"
I've seen it has its own Conservative Club - that killed it for me.
However there is the Hele Neighbourhood Partnership (composed of representatives from local voluntary groups, local authority officers, residents and elected Councillors). Its aim is to work together to improve the quality of life and community facilities for residents within the Hele area of Torquay. That's public sector speak for: this is a rundown area with poor facilities and unemployment, drugs, vandalism, and other crime.
