flag Five Worcestershire councils back split into North and South unitary authorities to boost efficiency and stability.

flag Five Worcestershire councils have approved a plan to split into two new unitary authorities—North and South Worcestershire—to improve services, decision-making, and financial stability. flag The proposal, backed by 62.5% of survey respondents and shaped with input from KPMG and Mutual Ventures, aims to shift from crisis response to prevention. flag It contrasts with an alternative single-unitary model submitted by Worcestershire County Council and Wyre Forest District Council. flag The government is reviewing both options as part of its reorganization programme, with initial decisions expected in 2026, followed by a public consultation.
