Whole county unitaries in Cornwall and Wiltshire will proceed in the South West. The proposal for a Unitary Authority for Exeter has been referred to the Boundary Committee to examine whether there could be alternative unitary proposals covering the whole or part of the wider county area which would achieve the outcomes outlined in the bidding process. Elsewhere Unitary Authorities will proceed in Durham, Northumberland and Shropshire.
All the successful proposals have demonstrated they will deliver strong, effective and accountable leadership, community empowerment, value for money and improved public services. They have also shown how the change to unitary structures will be affordable and supported by a broad cross section of partners and stakeholders.
