In December 2024, Central Government announced plans for the biggest reorganisation of local government in England in over 50 years which will change the structure and responsibilities of local councils.
In Nottinghamshire local services are currently delivered under what is known as a ‘two-tier’ council structure. LGR means we will move to a single tier system of unitary councils where just one council will deliver all the services you receive.
In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire there are nine existing local authorities. Under LGR, all nine would be abolished, to create new unitary councils with a higher population of residents.
It is being proposed that two new unitary councils should be created to replace the current nine.
Two core options are being proposed:
Councils are now rolling out an engagement process with residents and stakeholders until Sunday September 14 to gather public feedback on what matters most to local people and organisations and help shape the new Unitary authorities’ priorities.
Please see the project’s website to complete the survey online. Paper surveys will also be available at the following locations across the Borough from Thursday 07 August:
Further in-person engagement sessions are also due to be announced.
Please complete the survey to have your say.
