Based in Exeter, Devon County Council (DCC) is the county council administering the English county of Devon.

Devon County Council’s responsibilities include schools, social care for the elderly and vulnerable, road maintenance, libraries and trading standards.

One of the council’s roles is to support the protection, management and enhancement of the County’s rich and varied landscape, its unique wildlife and important historic and geological features. From Devon’s granite moors to its two distinct coastlines, the County has an outstanding environment that DCC are working together to protect and promote for everyone to benefit from and enjoy.

As the host authority for the partnership, the Exe Estuary Officer sits within the Environment Team, whilst still representing the views of the partnership as a whole.
