LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL – ONE COUNCIL FOR LEICESTERSHIRE
In December 2024, the Government published the English Devolution White Paper. This made it clear that the Government wants to move away from ‘two tier’ local government, like Leicestershire, and expects all county councils, district councils and neighbouring unitary councils (in this case, Leicester City and Rutland) to work up proposals for change.
Reorganisation needs to be agreed before there can be agreed devolution of powers and responsibilities to Leicestershire, (Leicester and Rutland) from the Government.
Please visit One Council for Leicestershire for more information about the LCC proposals and to respond to the on-line consultation.
