The Government has asked councils across England to look at how local government is organised, as they believe this will improve services and make better use of public money.
In Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, that means local councils are being asked to consider options for replacing the current county, borough, district and unitary authority arrangements, and deciding what area the new councils would cover. These newly formed councils, which will be unitary authority councils, will be responsible for delivering all council services to the residents in their area.
Deadline to complete the survey & have your say is 27th July
