Community and living

Over 90,000 people live and work in North Devon. Due to its natural beauty and charm, this number trebles during the holiday seasons.

We believe that it is the community as a whole that makes North Devon an attractive, enjoyable place to live and to visit.

To ensure North Devon remains an attractive place to be, we are committed to the continued well being of all our residents and visitors.

The council's Community and Leisure service works towards delivering this vision. Its objectives for the forthcoming year can be found here.
As well as working with the local community, the Community and Leisure team is also responsible for children and young people, community safety, culture and leisure, sports, economic development and community grants.
