Devon County, Unitary and District Councils

All upper tier Councils in Devon have been busy compiling initial proposals for LGR since December 16th 2024, when the White Paper was published. These proposals were submitted to the Government at the end of March and currently await further clarity from central government in relation to criteria. The final submissions will be made by 28 November 2025.
