On 21 March 2025, our interim proposal for Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution in Warwickshire was submitted to government by Leaders of 4 district and borough councils; Stratford-upon-Avon, Nuneaton & Bedworth, Rugby and North Warwickshire.

Shaping Warwick District’s Future, the Interim Proposal for Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution has now been submitted to government. Leaders of all 5 Warwickshire district and borough councils have outlined a shared vision, with options to split Warwickshire into one or  two unitary councils following reorganisation.

Our Cabinet recommend that two possible options are considered, a single unitary authority for Warwickshire, or 2 unitaries (one for North Warwickshire, Nuneaton & Bedworth and Rugby boroughs, and another for Warwick and Stratford Districts). Backed by supporting evidence, two councils would create simpler, more effective, sustainable and cheaper local government for Surrey. You can read the report and the documents on the website here.
