The current financial situation is putting huge pressure on people, communities and local businesses across Devon. As the largest Council responsible for 85% of your local services we believe it is essential to use our resources wisely to help the county and its people to weather the current storm and get in shape for the recovery that will follow.

This means doing all we can to support vulnerable people and families, to continue to invest in major projects and infrastructure that will bring employment and other opportunities for local people, and to keep our economy moving.
