Update on Local Government Reorganisation
The Parish Council has received a press release update on the Local Government Review published by Future LLR (made up of Leicestershire and the District Councils) as follows:-
The Government has today provided an update on its review of local government reorganisation (LGR) decisions in a number of areas across the country.
While decisions have been announced to progress for some areas, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland has been advised the Government has withdrawn its July 2026 decision to create two new unitary councils by April 2028, one covering a larger city and another for the rest of Leicestershire and Rutland.
The Government remains committed to the LGR process and have set out that further LGR decisions will be forthcoming. Today's update means that council services will continue as normal and there is no need for residents, businesses or community groups to do anything. We now await further detail and will provide updates as information becomes available.
Local council elections for district and parish councils are still planned for 6 May 2027.
