HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE FUTURE LOCAL GOVERMENT.

Communities are encouraged to have their say in a government consultation on the future of local government in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

The government is seeking views on three different proposals to reorganise the existing 10 councils into a smaller number of unitary councils which would each deliver all services.

A seven-week consultation is now underway with views sought on the following proposals:

• Two councils with an expanded Leicester city boundary and a single council for the rest of Leicestershire and Rutland (proposed by Leicester City Council)

• Two councils with one single council for Leicestershire and Rutland and one for Leicester on its existing boundary (proposed by Leicestershire County Council)

• Three councils with a council for north Leicestershire and Rutland, a council for south Leicestershire and one for the city on its existing boundary. It is called the North, City, South proposal (proposed by the seven district and borough councils and Rutland County Council)

Local Context for Blaby District

One of the proposals, the Leicester City Council model, includes the expansion of the existing city boundary. If implemented, this would have a direct impact on a number of communities within Blaby District, including:

Blaby, Braunstone Town, Cosby, Countesthorpe, Enderby, Glen Parva, Glenfield, Huncote, Kilby, Kirby Muxloe, Leicester Forest East, Leicester Forest West, Littlethorpe, Lubbesthorpe, Narborough, Thurlaston and Whetstone.

Wider areas across Charnwood, Harborough, Oadby & Wigston, and several part-parishes are also proposed for inclusion. These details are included in Leicester City Council’s published proposal documents.

North, City, South

The North, City, South Councils say their plan would:
• ensure councils remain connected to communities
• retain Leicester's current city boundary
• deliver more prevention focused services to improve lives and reduce demand
• save over £44 million a year
• create three financially sustainable councils
• support devolution and accelerate economic growth
• commit to retaining Rutland’s historic name and civic status

📣 *Have your say* 📣
The government wants views on what councils should look like in the future.
It wants to reorganise the existing 10 councils in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland into a smaller number of unitary councils which would deliver all local services.
🖱️✏️Views are sought on three proposals:

Two councils with an expanded Leicester city boundary and a single council for the rest of Leicestershire and Rutland (proposed by Leicester City Council)

Two councils with one single council for Leicestershire and Rutland and one for Leicester on its existing boundary (proposed by Leicestershire County Council)

Three councils with a council for north Leicestershire and Rutland, a council for south Leicestershire and one for the city on its existing boundary. It is called the North, City, South proposal (proposed by the seven district and borough councils and Rutland County Council)

It will mean:
All your local services would be delivered by one new council, instead of being split between Blaby District Council and Leicestershire County Council.
Blaby District could become part of a single county wide unitary council, depending on the option chosen.
Some towns and villages would move into an expanded Leicester City area if the government selects their boundary expansion proposal. This would include:
Blaby, Braunstone Town, Cosby, Countesthorpe, Enderby, Glen Parva, Glenfield, Huncote, Kilby, Kirby Muxloe, Leicester Forest East, Leicester Forest West, Littlethorpe, Lubbesthorpe, Narborough, Thurlaston and Whetstone.

✅councils remain connected to communities

✅save over £44 million a year
✅create three financially sustainable councils
✅support devolution and accelerate economic growth
