Sharing this post from Teignbridge District Council following the UK Government's announcement yesterday to pause Local Government Reorganisation until decisions are reviewed

The government has announced a review of its plans for local government reorganisation. Work on proposals affecting Devon now paused.

We welcome the decision and the opportunity for government to look again at proposals announced in July, which would have split Teignbridge between three different councils.

Council Leader Cllr Richard Keeling said: “We believe council boundaries should reflect real communities and support simple, effective services for residents.”

Elections planned for May 2027 will still go ahead on existing district council boundaries.

Council services will continue as normal while we await further information from government.

We will share more information with residents as soon as we have it.
