Views are being sought on the following, which were submitted to government in November last year:
The statutory consultation, which closes on 26 March, is a formal, legally required process which must be carried out by the government before it makes a final decision in the summer on which proposal to support.
It is separate to the two local LGR public consultations (one by Derbyshire County Council and one by the districts, boroughs and Derby City Council) which ran last summer and helped to shape the proposals.
Take part in the consultation on Proposals for Local Government Reorganisation in Derbyshire and Derby consultation.
While we’re waiting for a decision to be made about what the future of local government in Derby and Derbyshire will look like, we’ve started some work to prepare the ground for merging services with the district, borough and city councils.
Colleagues across all departments are also working on a number of activities, helping to record all the services we provide, the IT and data systems we use, and updating our asset and contract registers.
We’ve also worked with the district, borough and city councils to agree a shared approach for overseeing the LGR process and to form a central Portfolio Management Office and support services to manage the transition to a unitary council or councils. More details about this will be available soon.
For key information about LGR, including what we know so far about how staff may or may not be affected, take a look at our LGR hub LGR hub.
