Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Councils receive LGR interim plan feedback

The Government has issued its feedback on Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s joint interim Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) plan.

The feedback acknowledged the positive partnership working by the nine councils so far, and encouraged the councils to continue to work together, to shape high-quality and sustainable services that best respond to the needs of residents and provide better value for money.

A strong emphasis was placed on providing rationale for populations below or above 500k, as well as ensuring local engagement – planned for the Summer – and consultation with how new authorities could work with the East Midlands Combined County Authority.

Now, the feedback from Government will be reviewed in depth, to focus and refine next steps, ahead of the Government’s 28 November deadline to submit final, much more detailed, proposals. A key part of that process will be a public awareness campaign to ensure everyone is aware of the potential changes that LGR will bring.
