Continue to wash or sanitise hands regularly and wear a face covering in enclosed spaces.  You must not visit other peoples homes indoors or have visitors to your home indoors unless they are within your permitted bubble, however, you can walk through the house to get to the garden but please only use the bathroom facilities if absolutely necessary and try to limit your outdoor gathering time to about 2 hours.

We still have a long way to go out of lockdown so please continue to remember to look out for others who may need your help in getting shopping, medicines or just having a friendly chat on the phone or by virtual means to prevent loneliness.

Just a few years ago Kingsteignton was the largest village in England.  However, as the population increased we achieved the status of becoming a 'Town', so from 1st January 2009, we changed from a Parish Council to a Town Council. Our first Mayor, Councillor Mike Walters was a stalwart for the Town, District and County Councils and served many years. Many locals who have lived here all of their lives, still refer to it as a Village!

Our population has since continued to grow and is currently at approximately 12,500 residents with over 5,000 homes.  We are a vibrant Town, with retail parks, a cafe, a coffee shop, pubs, restaurants, hotels, sports facilities, 3 high achieving primary schools and Teign School a high achieving secondary school, industrial estates and over 80 x businesses' in total.  Situated at the head of the River Teign Estuary our East Ward adjoins the Hackney Marshes Nature Reserve and to the West fringing on the banks of the River Teign adjoining Teigngrace and the Hamlet of Preston.

A resident or a visitor to our Town, we hope that you enjoy your time here!
