Devon’s most significant political shake-up for half a century was on Thursday (July 16) announced by the government leading to changes that will result in the end of East Devon District Council and Devon County Council, and more power for Exeter as the authority expands. The Government revealed its decision on the future structure of local government in Devon, confirming four unitary authorities will be created by local government reorganisation for the county. The changes mean a host of councils will be abolished and fewer but larger versions created in their place, with some of the newer councils taking on critical services…

I can confirm it is true, the best adventures go unplanned. I have just recovered from an unforgettable whirlwind weekend of live music at Powderham, near Exeter, made more memorable thanks to a no-show shuttle bus (more on that later). Exeter was the musical mecca of the south west at weekend when 140,000 festival-goers descended on Powderham for four days of sell-out headline shows. American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, Canadian-American 90s icon Alanis Morissette and double headliner Lewis Capaldi rocked the hell out of Powderham over the four nights.

East Devon is celebrating a sand-tastic achievement after four beaches scooped Blue Flag and Seaside Awards. Exmouth and Sidmouth beaches both won Blue Flag and Seaside awards, while Seaside awards went to Budleigh Salterton and Jacob’s Ladder. Budleigh Salterton failed to scoop a 2026 Blue Flag award because of a fall in water quality. And beaches at Seaton and Beer were left empty-handed amid a lack of lifeguard provision. The district council said it would support the highest possible standards across East Devon’s beaches. Councillor Geoff Jung, for environment operations at the district council, said: “This is very positive news…
