With two weeks remaining until the Government’s consultation on local government reorganisation in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough closes, residents, businesses and community organisations are being urged to find out more about option B.
Three councils are calling on residents, businesses and stakeholders to find out more about option B and why they think it’s the best choice for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough now that a government consultation has started.
Three councils have set out why their plan to reorganise Cambridgeshire’s seven councils into two new unitary councils – known as option B, which would create one for North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and another for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire – is the most beneficial plan for the whole region.
Three Cambridgeshire councils have now backed the creation of a new unitary Council for Greater Cambridge and another for North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough - with local leaders saying they offer financial security, deliver up to £43 million savings a year and respect local identities.
An official decision on which business plan East Cambridgeshire District Council will back for Local Government Reorganisation will be made by councillors on Thursday 20 November.
Council leaders across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have thanked residents, businesses, and community organisations for their vital role in shaping the future of local government in our region.
East Cambridgeshire residents are likely to face steep Council Tax rises and their beautiful rural district become a building site, if the district council is absorbed into a new Greater Cambridge unitary authority, according to its leader.
