Welcome to Newton Abbot Town Council

A warm and friendly welcome to the Newton Abbot Town Council website – the home to information about the beautiful historic market town located in the South of Devon.

The Town Council is involved in providing a wide range of services for both local residents and visitors, ranging from the maintenance of local gardens, memorials and public footpaths, provision of local bus shelters and allotments and an array of all manner of events.

This calendar of events is organised every year, featuring band concerts, Easter events, food fayres and many wonderful Christmas events – plus our famous annual Town Criers Competition.

On this site, you will find a wealth of information – whether you’re looking to find out about council services in the area, local news, or just wish to know a little more about the history of the town.
