Local government reorganisation update

17 November 2025

Our proposals for local government reorganisation took a step forward last night.

A meeting of Full Council was held and councillors voted in favour of Cabinet proposing one single council for the whole of Derby and Derbyshire as the council’s preferred option.

Cabinet Members will now meet on 27 November to formally approve the final version ahead of the deadline for submitting the final proposal to Government on 28 November.
