Thank you to everyone who responded to the Boundary Committee’s proposal by letter, email and the online form via the Boundary Committee’s website. Click here to read what people said and to read Exeter City Council’s response. The consultation period for this stage of the process has now ended and the Boundary Committee for England is collating all responses to its proposal for unitary local government in Devon so that it can make a recommendation to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. The Boundary Committee will be making its recommendations to the Secretary of State on 13th February 2009.

This website tells you why Exeter City Council supports the two council view (one authority for the greater Exeter area and another for the rest of Devon) and what will happen next.

There will be a further opportunity to let the Secretary of State know your views for the future of local government in Devon after the Boundary Committee has made its final recommendation in February next year. We will keep you updated via this website of developments and what you can do to make your feelings known.
