flag Worcestershire may merge into one council or split into two by 2028, with a government decision expected in 2026.

flag Worcestershire’s local government structure faces potential overhaul by 2028, with plans to create either a single unitary authority or separate northern and southern councils. flag A £325,000 PwC report supports the "One Worcestershire" model, backed by the county council and Wyre Forest, while five other districts favor a split. flag Business proposals are due this month, with a government decision expected next year. flag Critics, including former council leader Sarah Rouse, argue the process wasted taxpayer money, citing near-total public disengagement and a focus on financial data over community input. flag The outcome may follow Surrey’s recent shift to two unitary councils, which involved a £500 million bailout for financially struggling areas.
