Government launches consultation – take part now
The government has launched a consultation on LGR in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, and anyone can take part. We are encouraging residents, organisations and partners including the police, NHS and education providers to have their say on the Government led statutory consultation as part of the ongoing proposals for LGR in the area.
This website will provide you with all the information you need to know about LGR in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, including maps and details of the three options being considered for the area. You can view these on our proposals webpage.
The consultation will run for seven weeks from 5 February until 26 March 2026. You can read our full news story about the consultation, linked from the bottom of this webpage.
Copies of the survey will be available in all council libraries and civic buildings, or you can complete the survey online using the link below:
