Torridge is a local government district in North Devon, England. Its council is based in Bideford. Other towns and villages in the district include Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Westward Ho!. The island of Lundy is administratively part of the district. To the south of the district bordering Cornwall, near Welcombe, the rugged coastline has a wild untouched beauty, due to its inaccessibility, but the South West Coast Path is well defined. The district is named after the River Torridge. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torridge_District)

Axminster Town Council is your local council. Local councils are the first tier of local government and deliver the most local form of services. Principal authorities are the tier above local councils and are often bigger in size and represent a larger area such as a county or district rather than neighbourhoods and communities.
Principal authorities like East Devon District Council and Devon County Council mainly deliver other services, but sometimes our services can overlap with theirs. We understand that this can be confusing to someone who just wants an issue resolved!

Newton Abbot is described in various tourist literature as a ‘lively, bustling market town’. The Town Council is committed to ensuring that, having been a market town since 1220 that its controlled growth will continue to the benefit of its current and future residents. Newton Abbots continued prominence as a bustling town is also equally important to the surrounding rural villages.
The Town enjoys a strategic position on the main railway line to London, Penzance and The North and excellent trunk road and motorway connections, situated off the A380 Exeter to Torquay Road. Newton Abbot is often known as the Gateway to Moor and Sea because of its closeness to Dartmoor National Park and the coastal resorts of Torquay and Teignmouth.
The Town has much to be proud of, St Leonard’s Tower; Decoy Country Park and numerous other town parks; Forde House; the Town Quay; six allotment areas; excellent primary and secondary schools; Museum and Railway museum; a leisure centre; a new hospital recently constructed; and the Racecourse.
The Town is delighted with the recently completed redevelopment of the Pannier Market and the Wolborough Street redevelopment which enhances Newton Abbot’s unique atmosphere as a Regional Shopping Centre.

In December 2019 North Tawton Town Council declared a Climate Emergency in response to growing evidence of climate change and the problems this causes. The Council agreed to look for ways to help our community reduce direct and indirect CO 2 emissions, and to find ways for our town to become more resilient to issues caused by climate change.
