Statement: Local Government Reorganisation

The Government has today unexpectedly announced that Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is being paused and reviewed, including proposals affecting Gloucestershire, and therefore Stroud District Council. 

Councils in Gloucestershire are seeking further information in addition to the Secretary of State's announcement to the House of Commons made today.

The Government says the review will ensure the reorganisation process is robust, complies with legal requirements, and aligns with its wider plans for devolution and local government reform.

At this stage, we do not have further details on the implications for Gloucestershire or the timescales for completing the review.
