A local government reorganisation survey was yesterday launched for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough residents.

The engagement survey invites members of the community to express their views on the three reorganisation proposals released last week, ahead of the submission deadline in November.

In line with Government guidance, the reorganisation plans will involve the region’s district, county and city councils being replaced with single-tier councils.

A recent statement from Cambridgeshire County Council confirmed that local authorities will use the views of ‘residents, businesses and local stakeholders’ to inform the proposals submitted to Government.

The survey will consider ‘what priorities [residents] think new unitary authorities should have’, as well as ‘the connections that people feel they have to different areas’, such as their places of work, social spaces and healthcare providers.

Cllr Lucy Nethsingha, Leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, said: ‘This is a moment of significant change for local government across our area, and it is essential that the voices of Cambridgeshire residents are heard clearly in shaping what comes next.

‘We want to ensure the authorities that follow are not only efficient and financially sustainable, but also deliver high-quality services and strong local accountability. This engagement is a vital first step in developing proposals that genuinely reflect the needs and aspirations of our communities.’
