The Government is seeking views on the proposals submitted by councils for the reorganisation of local government in Kent and Medway.

​Responses to this consultation will inform their decision on which proposal, if any, to implement

They want to hear your views on the biggest proposed shake up of local government in 50 years.

Ministers asked councils to come up with plans to create unitary councils in a process known as local government reorganisation (LGR).

Under the current system Kent County Council (KCC) delivers some services such as education, social services and roads, and district or borough councils deliver others like emptying your bins and providing housing services.

Under the proposed system, a much smaller number of unitary councils would deliver all council services in one area. Medway Council operates in that way today.

Councils across Kent and Medway have worked together to draw up a series of options for the number of unitary councils needed and what areas they should cover.

Now it is time for you to have your say:

A decision on which option the government has chosen is likely to be announced in the summer.
