Plymouth and Exeter Unite Behind Bold Four-Council Future

Plymouth and Exeter Council Leaders announced their support for a four-unitary model for local government in Devon on Friday, October 31.

This proposal, which includes unitary authorities for Plymouth, Exeter, Torbay, and Devon coast and countryside, aims to deliver sustainable services, unlock economic growth, and empower communities.

The councils believe this model is the best way to achieve a more resilient, responsive, and sustainable future for Devon, responding to the Government's call for reform.

Large urban areas like Plymouth, Exeter, and Torbay are seen as the engines of growth for both urban and rural communities.

The four-unitary model reflects how communities live, work, and will grow.
