Statement on Local Government Reorganisation

Warwickshire is one of 14 areas where proposals will be reviewed and paused while the Government considers whether the process is legally robust and aligned with its priorities.

The Government has also confirmed that local elections scheduled for May 2027 will go ahead on existing council boundaries.

A spokesperson said: “We note the Government’s announcement and will consider the details carefully.

“At this stage, we do not know the full implications for Local Government Reorganisation in Warwickshire. All six councils will continue to work together and engage with the Government as further information becomes available.

“We will provide updates for residents, staff and councillors when we have greater clarity.

“We remain focused on delivering services for residents, communities and businesses across the borough.”
