County Council Matters

Devon County Councillor - Cathy Connor

Role: Devon County Councillor – Whimple & Blackdown

I’m proud to serve as a Devon County Councillor, working on behalf of Dalwood residents and helping to make our area an even better place to live and work. I believe strongly in listening to local people and working closely with parish councils, community groups and residents to ensure your views are reflected in county decisions.

I am committed to being approachable, responsive and proactive, and to achieving positive, lasting outcomes for the people I serve.

Planning Applications

The Parish Council is a statutory consultee for East Devon District Council. All planning applications in the parish are circulated to Councillors, who review and send their comments via the Parish Clerk to the District Council.

Residents wishing to comment on planning applications should send their comments directly to East Devon District Council and copy the Parish Council.

Highway Matters

Devon County Council is responsible for maintaining roads, bridges, and ditches in the parish. The Parish Council reports any defects through the Clerk.

Potholes are a frequent issue. Reporting them multiple times increases the likelihood of repair. Residents can report issues here.

Parish Paths (P3 Scheme)

Dalwood Parish Council works in partnership with Devon County Council, local landowners, and path users to maintain parish footpaths.

  • Voluntary Parish Path Coordinators carry out annual inspections.
  • A small grant from Devon County Council is allocated for general maintenance, strimming, repairs, and improvements.
  • This helps keep rights of way safe, accessible, and well-maintained.
