Local Government Reorganisation
The new councils announced today will make it easier for local people to hold decision-makers to account, while creating streamlined structures that support faster, more efficient decisions on infrastructure and public services.
Together, this will deliver better outcomes, better value for taxpayers and pave the way for a devolution deal that can unlock Leicestershire’s full potential.
My priority throughout this process has been to secure the best outcome for North West Leicestershire. Bringing services such as planning, bin collections, highway maintenance and care together from ten different local authorities under two new councils will make navigating what is currently a complex system much easier for local people.
These changes will help create a more balanced approach to growth by enabling the city to meet more of its own housing and employment needs within an expanded boundary. This will help ease additional development pressures on areas such as North West Leicestershire, supporting more sustainable growth and better planning for communities across the county.
They will also better reflect the way many people already live their daily lives. Many residents living on the city boundary already rely on the city for services such as healthcare and leisure facilities. By bringing these communities into the city, they will have a stronger voice in shaping the services they use, ensuring local representation better matches the communities those services serve.
