Does Devon Need a mayor?

The Government is changing how councils work in Devon. This is sometimes called “devolution.” It could mean merging councils, moving powers from Whitehall to Devon, or even creating a directly elected Mayor.

I want to know what you think:

Devolution - Your Views on Labour's plans for where you live

Do you think Devon needs a Mayor?
One plan (called “5-4-1”) would reduce the number of councils and create three big unitary councils instead. Do you support this idea?

This would mean:

  • One council for Plymouth

  • One for West Devon, Teinbridge, South Devon & Torbay

  • One for Exeter, East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon & Torridge

If Devon does get new powers and funding, which issue should be the top priority?
Overall, which statement best matches your view?
Finally, are you a member of the Conservative Party? (If yes, I’d like to send you a members-only briefing on what this means for your local association.)
