As part of New Homes Week, we are shining a spotlight on what we are doing to tackle the housing crisis.
Housing is one of our top priorities, highlighted in our new Council Plan.
We want to provide new and genuinely affordable new homes for local people by:
- Helping communities bring affordable housing to their areas
- Working with housing partners to improve the number of affordable, safe and good quality homes
- Bringing forward more low-cost ownership homes for the people who need it most
- Providing even more opportunities for our residents to get onto the property ladder, such as Shared Ownership

With spring approaching, subscriptions are now open for the West Devon Garden Waste Service.
The service costs £55 for the year. The new subscription year will run from Monday 1 April 2024 until 31 March 2025.
You can sign up on our website.
The annual cost of £55 applies for fortnightly collections, excluding the weeks over the winter period when the service is suspended.
If you sign up, please make sure that your garden waste sacks are put out for us to collect by 7:30 a.m. on your normal collection day.
