About Us

A little more about the Devon Towns Forum:

Did you know that the Devon Towns Forum exists to provide all Community Partnerships within the County working at Market Town level, with a range of complimentary support and networking services?   This includes networking and meetings to share experiences, promote good practice and joined-up working. The list of our Key Objectives below will give you a better idea.

 The Devon Towns Forum, enjoys the active support of its principal partners the Market and Coastal Towns Association and Devon County Council.   The Forum provides regular free specialist-subject seminars and conferences that are designed to help communities develop and offer opportunities to engage directly with the experts and the supporting agencies.

Tom Langdon-Davies our Chairman say’s ‘The Devon Towns Forum believes we can help each other by working together and the Devon Towns Forum is committed to supporting the communities of Devon.’

Our Key Objectives Are:

·         To provide an inclusive forum for towns and their hinterland undertaking community planning exercises within the county of Devon and act as a communication channel to regional and sub-regional bodies;

·         To provide opportunities for the exchange of information between towns and their hinterland, to meet, share good practice and learn for future planning and development;

·         To provide supportive events such as training seminars and conferences, which are free to members and offer unique opportunities to engage with subject experts and the supporting agencies to promote successful community partnerships.

·         To offer a representative voice for advice, guidance and sign posting where appropriate;

·         To identify issues common to communities undertaking community planning exercises to share and promote learning and where appropriate, facilitate a framework for influencing and lobbying at a county or sub-county level;

·         To develop the capacity of the Forum and its members to support the process of regeneration.

·         To support co-ordinated, or joint approaches to projects and project funding wherever there is an appropriate opportunity to achieve an economic, or strategic advantage.

Membership of the Forum is free and open to groups, or persons representing Community Partnerships involved in recognised Community Planning i.e. recognised by the MCTA, SWRDA, or Devon County Council.  We also welcome local authority, agency and elected representatives who wish to be involved and be kept informed.
