Local Government Review
The Boundary Committee wants to abolish all eight district councils in Devon – including your council
– and create a giant unitary council for the whole county, excluding Torbay and Plymouth.

Do you WANT this to happen?

Would you prefer to keep the present system and work together
to improve services and reduce costs?

You CAN make a difference!

There is still time to have your say on the proposals.  Your local MP and the Secretary
of State for Local Government and Communities are interested in your views.

Boundary Review Information   Sign the Petition

You may also give your views directly to the Prime Minister.  It is easy to do thanks to
an online petition, set up by a Devon County Councillor, via the Number 10 website.
