Next steps
There is an initial deadline of 21 March where indicative proposals have to be submitted to the Government, with a second deadline of 28 November for detailed proposals.
The Government will then decide whether it agrees with the proposals and direct the next steps. If the proposals are accepted, it is possible that changes to council structures could be implemented from 2028.
Broxbourne Borough Council wants to protect the interests of residents in a new unitary authority. Broxbourne has the lowest council tax of the 10 districts and boroughs in Hertfordshire and a strong focus on regeneration and economic growth. The Council does not want local residents to lose
these advantages.
The councils in Hertfordshire are in the process of gathering evidence which will help to inform proposals going forward. As part of that, the Council would like to hear your views. Send an email to LGR@Broxbourne.gov.uk to share your thoughts on the Government’s plans.
