Plans for Exeter to bid for unitary status backed by councillors
Councillors have unanimously backed plans for Exeter to set out its intention to become a unitary authority under plans for devolution and local government reorganisation.
At an Extraordinary Council Meeting, members discussed a report which set out the Council’s initial response to the Government’s recently published White Paper and recommended that it states its intention to seek unitary status for Exeter.
A letter of intent will now be submitted to government which indicates opposition to any future proposal for one unitary council for Devon and expresses Exeter’s intention to submit interim plans for unitary status.
Members also backed a recommendation for the Council to work with other neighbouring authorities to bring forward a Mayoral Strategic Authority, which may cover the areas of Devon and Cornwall, with a unitary Exeter as a constituent member.
The report highlighted the Council’s view that a Unitary Exeter is best placed to co-ordinate public service delivery, drive regeneration and economic growth and strengthen community leadership and identity, in service of the city and wider region.

  St Nicholas Priory
St Nicholas Priory : Attempts to reconstruct the Priory church – A talk by Richard Parker
Fri 24 Jan 18:30 - 20:00 - £15 Ticket, including drinks and refreshments.
The medieval Priory of St Nicholas at Exeter was served by a church of which little now survives; but which is known from the few remaining architectural fragments to have been a handsome and richly-furnished building. This talk attempts to collate the little that is known from excavation, from documentary sources and from the surviving evidence in the standing fabric, to imagine the possible appearance and plan of this great, lost, church. The talk will be illustrated by reconstruction drawings produced by the author, over many decades, during his work for Exeter Archaeology and for the Exeter Historic Buildings Trust.
Ticket price includes complimentary drinks and refreshments.
Doors open at 6pm for 6:30 start.
