Local Government Reorganisation is coming to Hertfordshire
This website has been designed to:
-
Inform and educate Hertfordshire residents on what Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is, and how it impacts them.
-
Provide Hertfordshire residents with the opportunity to have their say – we really want to hear from our communities.
What is LGR?
In late 2024, the Government set out plans to change how local councils across England work together. This means areas like Hertfordshire that operate a two-tier system - where some services are run by district councils and others by the county council are being asked to rethink how things are organised.
Faced with tough financial pressures, councils are being encouraged to find smarter ways to deliver services and make better use of public money. That’s why the Government has asked the 11 council leaders in Hertfordshire to work together and come up with a joint plan for how local government could be reshaped to better serve our communities.
This plan will be sent to the Government in November 2025 and the journey starts here.
We want to hear from you
This is a once in a generation change, so it is important that there is proper consideration of the options and meaningful engagement with you as residents, but also local organisations and businesses.
We want to hear your views on how we can design a system that actively supports community-led action and strong local connections.
Take the survey and share what matters most to you.
It’s important to us that we use this once in a generation opportunity for change to shape a responsive and resilient system of local government that reflects local identity and unlocks long-term benefits for residents, businesses and communities.
In order to make this happen we need your input. Our communities are in the best place to tell us what’s important to them and your voice matters.
If you prefer you can also use the Contact Us link to ask any questions you may have or give your view.
