The Labour government are ploughing ahead and imposing Council Reorganisation on houuseholds across the County.
For taxpayers in Chorley, that means that Chorley, South Ribble, West Lancashire Councils and services currently provided by Lancashire County Council will all come under the new council provisionally names South Lancashire Council.
Interim elections will be held in May 2027, with the new Council coming into force the following year.
Current councillors who would otherwise see their term of office end in May 2027, will have their term extended to May 2028.
