Council leader Mandy Ewings, Cllr Caroline Mott and Council Chief Executive Andy Bates recently attended the nearly complete Okehampton Interchange station, along with some of our partners.
They checked on the progress in advance of the railway's summer opening and we're pleased to report that it's looking great!
The interchange will provide easy access to those who are walking, cycling, or using local bus services with a train service linking West Devon and the surrounding areas to Exeter and beyond.
Information regarding an opening date will be communicated in due course.
A reminder that from Monday 1 June Parkwood Leisure will formally be running the leisure centres across West Devon on our behalf, following the administration of Fusion last month.

Private renting is entering a new chapter. Your landlord can no longer ask you to leave without a specific, legally valid reason.
The Renters' Rights Act is bringing in new rights and responsibilities designed to create more security and fairness for tenants, while setting out clear expectations for landlords.
A key change is that landlords now need a legal reason to evict with a new Section 8 notice. This replaces the “no fault” Section 21 notice. Other changes include new measures to stop rental bidding and rental discrimination, and limits on the amount of rent in advance that landlords can request.
