OM DENNE EPISODE
Local Government Reorganisation is reshaping the local government landscape across England, creating new authorities, redefining political relationships and raising important questions about how places will be planned, governed and developed in the years ahead.
In this episode of The Truth About Local Government, we explore DevComms' new interactive LGR mapping tool and discuss what it reveals about the changing geography of local government. We examine how political leadership, decision-making structures and stakeholder relationships may evolve as new councils emerge, and what this means for developers, investors, communities and public sector partners.
The conversation also explores the practical implications for housing delivery, infrastructure investment, regeneration projects and planning policy. As councils prepare for one of the most significant periods of change in local government for a generation, we consider whether reorganisation will create barriers to progress or unlock new opportunities for growth, collaboration and place-making.
