Local government reorganisation in the Midlands

What LGR means for planning and development in the Midlands.

What’s inside

  • All seven areas in the latest wave — Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire
  • The geography and population of every proposed unitary, and the reasoning behind each split
  • Where local consensus broke down, from the 'Leicester City land grab' to fears of a 'Greater Birmingham'
  • The judicial review threat in Nottinghamshire and the political splits running through Staffordshire
  • Which Local Plans are furthest along, and what divergent political control means for the plans that follow

Written by the DevComms Midlands team, drawing on the government's announcements, the proposals councils submitted, and the political control picture in each area.
