Recycling road shows are being held in Feniton and Exmouth (The Colony) over the next few weeks to help householders with the new improved recycling collection service which is being trialled in these areas by East Devon District Council from mid-September.

East Devon District Council and Exmouth Town Council have been working closely together to spend a total of £118,000 on improvements to Phear Park and Imperial Recreation Ground play areas.

Children from Exmouth were given a choice of three designs for each play area and...

East Devon District Council is inviting local residents who live near Belshers Slipway and Shelly Beach in Exmouth, as well as people who use the slipway and the beach, to comment on its proposal to introduce a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that could address alleged anti social behaviour, occurring on the beach and slipway.
Some incidents, involving the launching and recovery of watercraft, as well as people driving onto the beach to access watercraft on the estuary, have become a source of annoyance to some people living nearby.
