Have your say on the future of Local Councils – Closes on 20th July 2025
From April 2028, current county, city and district councils in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will be replaced by simpler unitary councils, instead of two tiers of local government.
Unitary councils are responsible for all local government services within their area. Rather than dealing with separate county, city, and district authorities, organisations will access all services—from road maintenance and bin collections to education, planning, social housing, social care, and support with benefits—through a unitary council.
Where areas have parish and town councils, these will not be affected and will continue to operate as they do now.
The national Government believes these changes will improve services, making them simpler and more efficient for residents and businesses, as well as supporting economic growth and delivering much needed housing.
This is a once in a generation opportunity to have your say on the future of local councils.
Your input is vital to help ensure the new arrangements put in place by national Government work effectively for your organisation and the communities you serve.
We need your help to understand how you think councils should be reorganised in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The same survey is being promoted by all seven district, county and city councils across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. If you have already completed it at the request of another council, please ignore this email, you do not need to complete it twice.
Thank you for taking time to complete the survey – your views are important to us.
