Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox legislature Exeter City Council is the local authority for Exeter, a non-metropolitan district with city status in Devon, England.
History
Exeter was an ancient borough with city status. It was historically governed by a corporation, also known as the city council. The city was given the right to appoint a mayor by King John in the early thirteenth century.[1] In 1537 the city was made a county corporate with its own sheriff and quarter sessions, making it administratively separate from the surrounding county of Devon.[2]
The city council was reformed in 1836 to become a municipal borough, governed by a body formally called the "mayor, aldermen and citizens of the city of Exeter" but informally known as the corporation or city council.[3] When elected county councils were established in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888 Exeter was considered large enough to run its own county-level services and so it was made a county borough, independent from Devon County Council.[4]
The city was reconstituted as a non-metropolitan district on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming a lower-tier district authority with Devon County Council providing county-level functions to the city for the first time. The city kept the same outer boundaries, but gained control of the "Devon County Buildings Area", being three separate exclaves of Devon surrounded by the city, containing Devon County Hall, Rougemont Castle and the county judges' lodgings at Larkbeare House.[5][6] Exeter's city status was re-conferred on the reformed district, allowing the council to take the name Exeter City Council.[7]
In 2010 the government proposed that the city should become an independent unitary authority, like nearby Plymouth and Torbay. The statutory orders to set up the unitary authority were passed in Parliament and a new unitary city council was due to start in Exeter on 1 April 2011. However, following the change of government at the 2010 general election the reorganisation was cancelled.[8][9]
Governance
Exeter City Council provides district-level services. County-level services are provided by Devon County Council.[10] There are no civil parishes in Exeter; the entire city is an unparished area.[11]
Political control
The council has been under Labour majority control since 2012.
