Gloucestershire is facing significant change as two radical governance models are now under consideration. The proposals could fundamentally alter the way local government operates across the region, potentially ending the current system of county, city, and district councils.
The options put forward aim to streamline administration and improve service delivery by consolidating existing councils into new structures. While details are still being finalized, these plans promise a major reorganization that could reshape local authority functions.
Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to engage with the consultation process as the county explores the best path forward to meet the evolving needs of its communities.
