Local Government Reorganisation: Decision in Devon
July 22, 2026
A decision has been made on the LGR in that Devon will be reorganised into four unitary authorities, replacing the present system of district and county councils.
Under the selected proposal, expanded unitary authorities will be created for Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay, alongside a Devon Coast and Countryside authority covering the remainder of the county.
The proposal would also transfer six Mid Devon parishes – including Crediton, Crediton Hamlets and Newton St Cyres – into an expanded Exeter authority.
