Survey
The Labour government want to reorganise Local Government, and have asked all Lancashire Council's to submit their proposals by the end of November.
Reform led Lancashire County Council will be asking County Councillors to approve their submission to the Labour Government seeking two Unitary Authorities covering the whole of Lancashire including Blackpool and Blackburn - Lancashire North and Lancashire South.
If the Labour Government were to accept the Reform bid, a new Lancashire South Unitary Council would comprise of these scrapped Councils:
Chorley Council
Blackburn with Darwen Unitary Council
Burnley Council
Hyndburn Council
Pendle Council
Rossendale Council
South Ribble Council
West Lancashire Council
and ofcourse, Lancashire County Council.
Together it would cover a population of around 880,000.
In contrast, Chorley's Labour Council proposed merging Chorley only with neighbours in South Ribble and West Lancashire.
SO, OVER TO YOU. What do you think?
