Mid Devon is a local government district in Devon, England. Its council is based in Tiverton.
The district was formed under the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the borough of Tiverton and Crediton urban district together with Tiverton Rural District, and Crediton Rural District.[1] It was originally called Tiverton District, but was renamed in 1978 by resolution of the district council.

Mid Devon Commits to Climate Change Target
At an extraordinary meeting of Mid Devon’s Full Council, Members voted unanimously to support an ambitious cut in carbon emissions.
Members have agreed to work to the Devon-wide target of 2050, but will aim for Mid Devon to become carbon neutral by a more ambitious date of 2030.
Back in May, the Council joined other local authorities in the county and became part of the Devon Climate Emergency Response Group, following Devon County Council’s declaration of a climate emergency.
As part of the group, Mid Devon committed to ensuring its Members would debate the impact of the County’s declaration and seek to sign the pledge themselves.
Following the debate last night (26th June), Members have now agreed to formally sign Mid Devon up to the Devon Climate Declaration and will now begin the process of collaborating with partners to produce a county-wide carbon plan.
The Council will be looking at realistic and tangible ways it can reduce its own carbon impact as well as supporting residents and businesses in Mid Devon to do the same.
