Teignbridge residents are invited to help shape the future of councils in Devon as part of Local Government Reorganisation.
In December 2024, the Government announced plans to simplify local government structures across England. As part of Local Government Reorganisation, or LGR, areas like Devon – currently served by both district and county councils (a two-tier system) – are being asked to consider moving to a single-tier system known as a unitary authority.
