Local Government Reorganisation
What is LGR?
Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), introduced as part of the England devolution bill, represents the largest change in local authority structure since the 1974 reorganisation. The structural reform will see two-tier councils become new unitary authorities to improve efficiency, accountability and service delivery.
Who Is Affected?
- Local government reorganisation applies to some local authorities in England only.
- All two-tier authorities and some unitary authorities have been invited to participate.
- London and Metropolitan Boroughs are excluded.
Getting Reorganisation Ready Whitepaper
The government aims to complete the LGR programme within the first parliamentary term, with a Vesting Day (a date when a local authority legally comes to an end) in April 2028.
