Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution Network
The English Devolution White Paper set out reform to local government including the development of strategic authorities, combined authorities and new forms of local councils, turning some ‘two tier’ areas of Counties and Districts into single tier ‘Unitary’ councils. The new councils will carry out the same functions as other existing Unitary merging the services that are otherwise carried out by different tiers of local councils.
This new APSE Network will support local councils undergoing this transition.
The chair of this group is Cllr John Clark from Gedling Council.
