Devon to replace its current councils with 3–4 unitary authorities in 2026, following national reform.
A major overhaul of Devon’s local government is expected in early 2026, with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government set to decide on replacing the current multi-tier system with three or four unitary councils.
The reform, part of a national effort, aims to streamline services like education, housing, roads, and social care under single authorities.
Proposals vary, including models centered in Exeter or expanding Plymouth and Exeter, while Torbay seeks to stay independent.
Cornwall has ruled out merging with Devon, leaving open options for Devon to partner with Somerset or Dorset.
A regional strategic authority may be created, and public consultation has seen limited engagement.
Final decisions will follow council submissions by November 28.
