Three proposals for the county’s council boundaries were submitted for ministerial review. Gloucester City Council advocated for a “Greater Gloucester” council to operate separately from a unitary authority encompassing the rest of the county. However, this plan was rejected in favor of a single unitary authority covering the entire county.
