Gloucestershire residents are being asked for their views on the proposed changes to local government in the county.
Three proposals were unveiled in November last year, which included:
- One countywide unitary council responsible for all services across Gloucestershire
- Two unitary councils (east/west split) each responsible for all services in that area.
- Two unitary councils (Greater Gloucester and Gloucestershire Unitary), each responsible for all services in that area.
The three proposals for local government reorganisation in Gloucestershire
The plans have been described by the county council as a “once-in-a-generation shake-up” to how local services are run.
The consultation runs until March 26 2026, and comments can be made here.
A decision is expected in summer 2026, with elections planned for May 2027. Any new unitary councils would be established no earlier than April 2028.
