Hertfordshire residents must respond by March 26 to a government consultation on merging 11 councils into 2–4 unitary authorities by 2028.
Hertfordshire residents have until March 26 to respond to a government consultation on a proposed local government overhaul set for 2028, which could replace 11 councils with two, three, or four unitary authorities.
The plans aim to streamline services like education, social care, housing, planning, and waste management by consolidating responsibilities.
Options include splitting the county into west and east, adding a central unitary, or creating four distinct regions, with boundaries based on existing districts and minor adjustments.
The consultation evaluates each proposal on geography, efficiency, financial resilience, service quality, and community input, with responses collected via a dedicated website.
Council leaders urge public participation, as the final decision will shape local governance for years.
