BIG RESPONSE TO BROXTOWE'S SURVEY ON SHAKE-UP OF COUNCILS
MORE than two thirds of Broxtowe residents say they do not support the options currently tabled for the borough to join with Nottingham city.
Council papers released ahead of Broxtowe Borough Council's cabinet meeting next Tuesday show the initial “draft” analysis of survey results from the authority's consultation on the incoming reshaping of Nottinghamshire councils.
Nottinghamshire’s nine authorities are heading for a monumental shakeup and merging which is due to be implemented by 2028 and would see the current two-tier structure in the county - with responsibilities split between district and borough councils and an upper county council - scrapped to create fewer unitary authorities responsible for all services.
