Plymouth and Exeter Unite Behind Bold Four-Council Future
Plymouth and Exeter Council Leaders have announced their united support for a new vision for local government in Devon, backing a four-unitary model.
This model includes one unitary authority each for Plymouth, Exeter, Torbay, and Devon coast and countryside, aiming to deliver sustainable services, unlock economic growth, and empower communities.
The proposal responds to the Government’s call for reform, reflecting the shared ambition of Devon’s urban centres to lead the region into a more resilient and sustainable future.
Large urban areas like Plymouth, Exeter, and Torbay are seen as the engines of growth for both urban and rural communities.
These proposals reflect how communities live, work and will grow.
