What the decisions mean
- Taken forward
- We will look into it as a project, or it joins a project already on our list.
- Under consultation
- It is part of something we are asking people about now. We will decide once we have heard what everyone thinks.
- Already happening
- The Council, or someone else, is already doing it, or something very like it.
- For another organisation
- Someone else is responsible for it, such as Devon County Council or Mid Devon District Council. We say who.
- Not taken forward
- We will not take it forward, at least for now, and we always say why.

What if I have a question about a decision?
Open the idea’s page from the table and choose Ask a question. We reply privately, and never publish your question or your name.
Will my idea go ahead?

Got an idea of your own?
