COMMUNITIES & PLACE

Northern Devon has a wide range of vibrant active communities.  However, in this modern age, they are not without their challenges. We are here to support our communities in finding and implementing solutions

Our Community

The Action Group will form the single point of contact for strategic matters concerning Communities and Place in Northern Devon. It will act as an advisory and delivery role and be accountable to the NDF Board, whilst acting as a conduit, capturing the voice of our communities
