LABOUR yesterday announced plans to ram through dramatic changes to give Exeter "home rule" from the rest of Devon, despite admitting the cost of doing so is likely to spiral out of control.

CITY leaders are celebrating after Exeter was given the green light to be run as a unitary authority - despite ministers admitting the sums still do not add up.

The event, formerly known as the Devon Youth Games, will take place in Tavistock on Saturday July 10 and hundreds of young people from across the county will be taking part in the celebration of sport and culture.

<p>Following a prolonged review of Local Government in Devon which began in December 2007, the Government has given the go-ahead for Exeter City Council to run the city's local services as a unitary council. </p> <p>The change will affect Exeter alone. Devon County Council and the county's district/borough councils remain unchanged.</p>
