Crediton Town Council is pleased to announce that it will be relocating to Manor Office (6 North Street, just two doors down from our current premises) on Wednesday 1 October 2025. We will be closed from Monday 29 September to Friday 3 October.

This move is primarily driven by the need to ensure that the council continues to serve the community effectively. We are excited to be providing Crediton Area History and Museum Society with archiving space, making this building a far more community-minded space, with the view to offering space for hire for meetings in the future.

While the relocation marks an important step forward, we would like to inform residents that Manor Office will not be fully open to the public immediately upon moving in. This is due to ongoing work to ensure the new premises meet accessibility standards and to ensure the safety of our visitors.

We are actively developing alternative arrangements to ensure that residents can continue to access council staff and services during this transition. This will include:
• Scheduled appointments with council staff
• Continued digital and phone support.
We are also hoping to offer temporary drop-in sessions at alternative locations.

Further details will be shared in the coming weeks via our website and social media channels.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this important move, and we remain committed to maintaining open and effective communication with our community.

Welcome to Crediton Town Council

Crediton Town Council has 12 councillors, 6 on Boniface Ward and 6 on Lawrence Ward. Full Council meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of the month. There are three committees; Grants, HR and Youth.

The Town Council owns and is responsible for the service of numerous facilities and property within the town including; 3 allotment sites, The War Memorial, St Boniface Statue, The Bandstand and Newcombes Meadow public conveniences. Information about other facilities the Town Council manage can be found on the 'Facilities' page.

A new town guide has been created for Crediton, primarily signposting visitors and showcasing what Crediton has to offer, with the hope of boosting the town’s economical development. Guides can be found at the Town Council Offices, Crediton Library and Lords Meadow Leisure Centre.

District and County Council Links

Crediton is a lively market town with lots of events usually held every year. It has a close and friendly community with lots of green open spaces, shops and a strong connection with the Arts. 

One of the Town Council's important duties is to act as a sounding board for local opinion and so we are consulted on a number of matters not least of all planning. The council also helps to arrange for public consultation meetings for larger projects such as the proposed link road, major planning applications and local government reorganisation. Councillors represent wards in the town and local people should know who their councillors are and if they have any issues they can ask their ward councillor to approach the appropriate agency to solve their problems such as housing, state of the streets and pavements and other issues in the town.

The Town Council has to set a budget with which to pay for the services it provides and its support for local agencies, charities and groups who enhance the lives of Kirtonians. The Council's budget, or precept, forms part of every household's Council Tax, albeit just a small part. Councillors try to keep the burden of taxation as low as possible and to spend wisely because we realise we are spending your money and you expect good value.

The Town Council, made up of its staff and members, are here to serve you. If you have any issues or ideas on how to improve the town, get in touch with one of us and even if your suggestion or comment is rightly the responsibility of another authority, we will ensure your comment is passed on.
