Although South Hams District Council provides a wide range of services across the South Hams area, there are several services that are provided by Devon County Council instead.
Pages 17-22 of the [pdf icon] Working Together in South Hams 2009/10 booklet contains an A-Z of local services, along with details of which Council has responsibility and their contact numbers.
The Devon County Council website also provides a list of their services, and a means of contacting them online.
