Help shape Derbyshire’s future

Derbyshire (excluding Derby) has a two-tier system – one county council and eight district or borough councils.

The Government announced the biggest shake up of local councils in a generation, requiring all areas to move to a single-tier unitary council system – meaning just one council delivering all services. Parish and town councils aren’t affected by the Government’s plans.

This decision will shape the future of local services for decades and Derbyshire has until 21 March 2025 to put forward a proposal that best serves all communities.
