To provide Members with an update on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Cabinet noted the update on the Local Government Reorganisation and were informed that the Government announced that a pause had been placed on the implementation of the LGR while it undertook a wider review of the LGR programme.

Members stated that the pause created further concern and uncertainty for communities, and it was important to ensure that the opposition to the current terms continues. It was further stated that the Council would not ‘sleepwalk’ into partaking in the reorganisation. It was reiterated that the Council did not oppose LGR, but the opposition was to the current terms.
