Have your say on the future of councils in Devon
Devon is undergoing a major transformation in how local government works.
The number of Devon councils is due to be reduced as part of UK Government proposals to create ‘empowered, simplified, resilient and sustainable’ unitary authorities. This means that the current district and county council model will be replaced by a unitary council, responsible for delivering all services within a particular area; a new Devon.
Devon County Council would like to hear about what’s important to you and how you think Devon’s councils and services could be structured to ensure the best services for all people in Devon.
Have your say by 14th October 2025.
