Working Together

At South Hams and West Devon councils, we have been characterised by our energy and creativity, promoted by our political commitment to drive change. We are two sovereign councils, but we work closely together to deliver our shared vision to provide the very best services to the people of South West Devon.

We have a powerful partnership, and our shared model provides annual savings of over £6m across both councils.

Great progress has been made in forming an agile workforce of case managers, specialists and locality officers who deliver services through streamlined processes. In partnership, we deliver cost-effective and customer-focused services, including waste and recycling, planning, housing, environmental health and community services.
