Exmouth Town Council is celebrating the achievement of its long-standing ambition to run the Town Hall, providing a community hub for residents, businesses, and local groups going forwards.
Recognising a change to their requirements, East Devon District Council (EDDC) has worked collaboratively with Exmouth Town Council to explore ways to repurpose the building for the benefit of the community. The building will be sold to the Town Council and with an orderly move of staff out of the building enabling a more public facing future for the Town Hall.
District Council customers will continue to be able to access services from the Town Hall with a dedicated free telephone line to connect to the most appropriate team, creating a more responsive and direct route to the services they need. Pre- arranged in-person appointments will still be available across the district.
As East Devon’s largest town, a flexible space that can be booked for a range of meetings and events for community-oriented groups, has been a key goal for residents. The Town Hall’s central location, and its use for Town Council meetings, also make it a natural home for resident engagement, whether that is through consultations, drop-in events, or partnership work.
