Devon County Council has been gathering the views of local county councillors, Exeter city councillors and the Police in order to help shape plans, and now want to hear what the whole community think.

The consultation will run for a six week period from Monday 23 September until Sunday 3 November, and includes public meetings and exhibitions where residents can find out about the background and reasoning behind the part-night lighting initiative, and discuss any concerns they may have.

The public meetings will enable local people to hear about the proposals and speak directly to officers. These will be held between 5pm and 8pm on:

3 October, at Methodist Hall, Burnthouse Lane, Exeter, EX2 6NG (across road from Wonford Community Centre).

8 October, at Whipton Community Hall. Pinhoe Road, Exeter, EX4 8AD.
