History

The South Devon Alliance was founded on 23 March 2021. It had emerged out of the "Newton Says No" group, who campaigned to stop housing development within the area.
In February 2023, two members of Newton Abbot Town Council joined the party.
In the 2023 Teignbridge District Council election, the SDA won 9 seats. One candidate was David Knopfler from Dire Straits who contested Ashburton and Buckfastleigh ward. In a 2024 by-election in the same ward the SDA came in second place.
Liam Mullone was the South Devon Alliance candidate in Newton Abbot constituency in the 2024 United Kingdom general election. He came in 6th place with 4% of the vote.
In November 2024 the party announced it was dissolving as they felt a political party was no longer the best way to represent their interests on Teignbridge District Council.
