About LGR

In December 2024, central government announced plans for the biggest reorganisation of local government in England in over 50 years. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) aims to create more efficient and effective local government.

Move to unitary councils

In Nottinghamshire, local services are currently delivered under what is known as a ‘two-tier’ council structure. LGR means we will move to a single-tier system of unitary councils where just one council will deliver all the services you receive. 

In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire there are nine existing local councils. Under LGR, all nine would be abolished, to create new unitary councils with a higher population of residents.
