Have your say on draft plans for Exmouth town and seafront
Following extensive public consultations in summer 2022, the draft ‘Placemaking Plan for Exmouth Town and Seafront’ has been released by East Devon District Council (EDDC).
You have until Friday 15 March to share your feedback.
Watch the video below to hear about plans for Exmouth's improvements to be delivered in partnership with the town and county council.
Results of the Cranbrook town centre consultation published
Lots of people had their say on the future of Cranbrook and the results show that health and leisure facilities are a priority, together with shops and shaded outside spaces in a vibrant town centre where people can spend their time.

Cliff inspections and repairs in Sidmouth, Seaton and Beer
In preparation for work to stabilise the wall and the cliff at Sidmouth's Connaught Gardens, the team are setting up the site today, installing anchors and scaffolding.
Following this week’s site set-up, the inspections and repairs are expected to be completed within five weeks (before the Easter holidays).
Whilst this work is undertaken, Millennium Walk will be closed, to keep visitors safe.
Next week, cliff inspections, and the removal of fallen materials, will also be taking place at Seaton West Walk on Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 March, and in Beer (including Annis’ Knob), from Wednesday 6 until Friday 8 March.
