about us
Last updated: 17 Sept 2026
Brightside is a positive news platform created by Devon County Council to highlight the brilliant things happening in your area, and all the ways Devon is getting better.
Across the county, progress is being made every day — from cleaner air and greener streets to new homes, better public transport and safer routes for walking and cycling. You can find out about opportunities created for young people, support available for older residents, and the services your local team provides.
Brightside also showcases the best of what's happening in your neighbourhood: inspiring community projects, small successes that make a big difference, and the people working tirelessly to improve life for others.
In a time when negativity can dominate so much of what we see and hear, Brightside exists to shine a light on the positive changes happening across Devon — big and small — and celebrate the progress being made together.
