The way local councils in England are organised is being fundamentally changed for the first time in 50 years.
In February 2025, the Government asked local councils to work together to draw up initial proposals for new organisations that are:
- Simpler in terms of how they are organised and more efficient
- Better value for money
- Closer to communities
- Able to deliver joined-up services.
Derby City Council has been working with the District and Borough Councils across Derbyshire to develop proposals for Local Government Reorganisation in Derby and Derbyshire.

Have your say
Council services have an impact on the everyday lives of people and organisations across our communities – and it’s important that local people have a say about how these services are delivered in the future.
Derby City Council has recently launched a consultation on the proposals, which will run until 10 August 2025. You can have your say here: https://letstalk.derby.gov.uk/local-government-reorganisation
