Major changes are planned to councils across Worcestershire as part of the biggest shake-up of local government in more than 50 years.
The Government is requiring 21 areas of England to restructure their system of local government before 2029.
There are two parts to the Government’s proposed changes:
Local government reorganisation – where the Government is looking to replace borough/district/city and county councils with fewer councils.
Devolution – where the Government is looking to transfer powers and funding to new Strategic Authorities (also called Combined Authorities) that cover a number of new council areas and are responsible for large projects such as transport, infrastructure and economic development.
The six borough, city and district councils across Worcestershire are now asking for your help to piece together who in future should deliver the services you rely on every day.
The public engagement on local government reorganisation runs from 1 to 29 June 2025.
