Devonwall

Devonwall is one name given to various proposals to link or combine the counties of Cornwall and Devon together in whole or in part. The name was initially used to describe political concept introduced in the United Kingdom in the 1970s by the Conservative government. It was an attempt to link the two counties together in an economic, political and statistical sense to form a South West region. This involved combining and centralising some local government functions and services such as the police, ambulance, fire services, as well as media output such as local TV and newspapers.

The term Devonwall has continued to be used to describe various other proposals that would see see Cornwall and Devon brought together in whole or in part, such as proposals for a Devonwall Parliamentary constituency.
