People across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are being invited to share their views on the future of local government .
A six-week survey has been launched with all nine council’s in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to gather public feedback on what matters most to local people and organisations, to help shape new authorities’ priorities.
Currently, council services in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are delivered differently, depending on where you live.
Under Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), all nine existing local authorities 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 for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to replace the current nine with the aim to create more efficient and effective local government, potentially leading to streamlined services and cost savings.
There’s also community venues across the Borough where you can give your views. From next week there are three in person sessions in association with Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire:
- Bingham Farmers’ Market, Bingham Buttercross, NG1 8AN – Saturday August 16 from 9.30am to 11.30am
- The Croquet Lawn, Central Avenue, West Bridgford, NG2 5GQ – Wednesday August 27 from 10.30am to 12.30pm
- East Leake Food, Drink and Produce Market, East Leake Village Hall, 45 Main St, East Leake, LE12 6PF – Saturday August 30 from 10.30am to 12.30pm
