In respect of the positions described at (e) and (f), Devon County Council do not hold this information as these are positions employed by district, city or unitary councils. For this information we would recommend that you contact these authorities. Their contact details can be found on our website at: https://www.devon.gov.uk/neighbouring-authorities/
