Cabinet votes for their preferred option of two councils for Warwickshire – one in the north and one in the south. See the Cabinet report and submission document here – add links

7 August to 12 September 2025

A survey to encourage the public, businesses, voluntary and community groups, as well as town and parish councils, to share their thoughts on local government reorganisation.

Each of the District and Borough Councils (excluding Rugby) agreed, at their meetings in July, that their preferred option was to reduce all the councils down to two – one in the north of Warwickshire and one in the south. Before councillors submit their final recommendation to government in November, this questionnaire provides the opportunity for all to share their views on this preferred option and to shape the future of local government.

The survey is being run by Opinion Research Services (ORS) and will be supported by focus groups and additional conversations with stakeholders.
