Gloucestershire Seeks Public Input on Major Council Reorganization

The way local services in Gloucestershire—such as road maintenance, social care, development planning, and waste collection—are managed is set to change significantly in the coming years. Now, residents have the opportunity to share their views on three proposed plans aimed at reshaping local government in the county. The UK government is encouraging the consolidation of district authorities with county councils to streamline governance and strengthen local councils. In Gloucestershire, this means merging district councils with Shire Hall to form one or more unitary authorities that would be solely responsible for all local services.
