HDC - Bold Vision for the Future of Local Council Structure

Statement from Harborough District Council

A bold vision which puts people and places at the heart of future council structures in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland has been submitted to Government. (Friday 21 March 2025).

The seven district and borough councils of Leicestershire and Rutland County Council have worked closely together to create the shared vision which is built on a foundation of collaboration, evidence and engagement.

The plan is in response to the Government's request to the area to submit interim proposals to reduce the number of councils and replace them with new unitary authorities. It is part of its devolution agenda.

More information and the full submission are available on the HDC website, see below.
