Across England, ministers are moving away from two-tier council systems, where responsibilities are divided between county and district councils. Gloucestershire, currently governed by Gloucestershire County Council and six district councils, is a prime candidate for reorganization. The county’s proposals include three options: a single unitary council for the entire county; splitting it into east and west authorities; or dividing it into a Greater Gloucester unitary alongside a separate Gloucestershire council.
