East Devon Local Nature Recovery Plan consultation
 🌿 We want to hear your views on nature in East Devon. This consultation is your chance to share how you experience and value nature, as well as your views on the priorities and actions set out in the draft East Devon Local Nature Recovery Plan. Your feedback will help shape local support for nature recovery.
The draft plan is set out in five themes: lowland heathland, wetlands, woodland and hedges, species-rich grassland, and the urban fabric. These have been derived on detailed mapping explained in East Devon Nature Recovery Network mapping report. The mapping does not have any statutory weight but indicates the important habitats in East Devon. Questions in each theme will help us understand priorities to focus action.
The consultation closes on 22 May at 5pm
Community Governance Review Stage 2: Cranbrook and Surrounding Development Areas consultation
 Following the first stage of the Community Governance Review, East Devon District Council has published draft recommendations on proposed boundary changes affecting Cranbrook Town Council and the neighbouring parishes of Broadclyst, Clyst Honiton, Rockbeare and Whimple.
We now want to hear from people who live in the areas affected, as well as anyone else with an interest, on these proposals. Your feedback will help ensure the draft recommendations reflect local communities and support fair and effective representation.
The consultation closes on 24 April at 5pm
 We’re seeking your views on changes to how East Devon District Council (EDDC) services are accessed at Exmouth Town Hall. Residents can use a free phone linked to EDDC in a private contact hub during building opening hours, and face-to-face appointments remain available where needed.Â
Your feedback will help us understand what works well, if there are any challenges to accessing services, and what adjustments may be needed particularly for people who may be more affected by changes to face-to-face access.
The consultation closes on 18 June at 5pm

Budleigh Beach management survey report published
Budleigh-Salterton BCMP engagement round 1 analysis final report.pdf
What happens next? We are currently reviewing all feedback received and using it to inform our understanding for the next two investigations.
Our first investigation will look at a situation of what would happen to the beach and cliffs if we did no management to the area over the next 100 years. This will help us better understand the long-term risk. We will use your feedback in this assessment. This work will ensure that local evidence and community perspectives are fully reflected.
Our second investigation will look at options to reduce risk. This is known as options appraisal. This will include another round of engagement, likely in late spring or early summer. We appreciate that some people were not fully able to participate in the last round of engagement due to the tragic events on Christmas Day. We hope this second round of engagement will provide an opportunity to do this. Further details will be shared once plans are confirmed.

Budleigh Salterton Beach & Cliff Management Plan 2025-2027 - South West Flood and Coastal
Churchill Park improvements complete
Dunkeswell Parish Council have confirmed that the Churchill Park improvements are now complete, with new and upgraded equipment now in place for the community to enjoy. Following the community survey and EDDC’s approval of the section 106 transfer, the planned improvements and repairs have now been delivered.
Work began on 23 March and the park has reopened following completion of the improvements.
Alongside the new equipment, the zip wire has been fully overhauled and the swing set has been fitted with new seats. A new climbing trail was also installed in November after a successful National Lottery Awards for All grant covered its purchase and installation.
