About Exeter City Council

Most local authorities will say that they are undertaking transformation in one shape or form. In Exeter we not only believe we are a leading place based on economic growth, but also due to the work we do with our partners and the local authorities that surround us.

Strategic partnerships are at the forefront of what we do. We have ambitious plans to make Exeter both an analytical city and the global leading location for applied environmental science.

Our population growth is the fastest in the country and our economic growth has reached transformational levels.

As an organisation you’ll find that we are outward facing – for us a lot of the work we do is based around place. Internally, we are changing our organisation to be more commercially focussed as changes in local government finances abound.
