Please find below a statement from Chesterfield Borough Council on the Government’s White Paper on English Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation.
Councillor Tricia Gilby, Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, said: “Our vision as a council is to put our communities first, which means that we will always act in the best interests of the residents and businesses of the town and borough.
“Local government reorganisation is a complex issue, and it is right that we take time to fully and carefully understand the proposals that Government has set out in its English Devolution white paper. We will engage with the process and ensure that the voices of Chesterfield’s communities are properly represented and heard.
“In all likelihood there will be changes to local government structures as we know them. Whilst we consider our options, I can assure the people of Chesterfield that the council will continue to prioritise delivery of its ambitious growth programme and the daily provision of high-quality facilities and services.”
