Survey launched into local government reorganisation plans
Published: 20/11/2020
COPELAND Council has launched a survey to ask residents for their views on potential changes to the structure of local government.
The council, and all local authorities in Cumbria, have been invited to submit their proposals for local reorganisation to the Government by December 9.
The Government’s preferred model is for unitary authorities; one council that carries out all the services for an area; thereby replacing the current two-tier structure in Cumbria of a county council and six districts, each with their own responsibilities and services.
