Local Government: Elections
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 21 February 2025 to Question 29001 on Local Government: Elections, whether the 2027-2028 go-live dates are after a period of operation as a shadow authority; and what her preferred period of time is that a body should be in shadow status to prepare for its establishment.
- Answer
-
We have been clear in the invitation letter that we will work with areas to move to elections to new ‘shadow’ unitary councils as soon as possible, as is the usual arrangement in the process of local government reorganisation. Detailed timings will depend on the proposals submitted, but we envisage a period of operation as a shadow authority , ahead of go-live on 1 April the following year.
