Local Government Re-Organisation – Shaping the Future of our Councils – have your say!
/in News /by Sally OldhamWe want to hear from you! As changes to Warwickshire are being considered, it is important that residents have a say in the future of their local councils!
Local councils and the services they provide have an impact on residents’ lives, and it is important that you have a say on possible changes to how these services are delivered in the future. Please read the engagement document or visit shapingourcouncils.co.uk for information about the proposals. To give your feedback, complete this questionnaire by 14 September 2025.
To take part in the questionnaire:
Warwickshire Local Government Reorganisation: Engagement Questionnaire
Four of Warwickshire’s district and borough councils (North Warwickshire, Nuneaton & Bedworth, Stratford-on-Avon, and Warwick) have appointed ORS, as an independent social research company, to manage the engagement and questionnaire responses. ORS will faithfully report the outcomes, in which the views of individual members of the public will be anonymous; but where feedback is from organisations or elected representatives or someone acting in their official capacity, it may be attributed.
All the questions are optional, and all information you provide will be processed by ORS in accordance with latest data protection regulations. For further information, please see www.ors.org.uk/privacy and shapingourcouncils.co.uk/privacy-policy.
Once the results have been analysed, the district and borough councils will submit their final local government reorganisation proposal to central government on 28 November 2025.
