We carry out three different types of reviews: administrative boundary reviews, structural reviews and electoral reviews. You can also find information about open consultations, community governance (parish) reviews and other review bodies.
Structural reviews in Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon
We published further draft proposals for unitary local government in Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk on 19 March 2009, and the deadline for providing our final advice to the Secretary of State is 15 July 2009. For more information go to our structural reviews page and see our news releases.
Electoral reviews in Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester
We have begun the second part of our consultation on electoral arrangements for the new Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester unitary authorities.
We now need information from people and groups in Cheshire to enable us to map out the electoral divisions of each authority – what area each of the councillors will represent. Visit about electoral reviews to find out more and have your say on what your council looks like. Read our news release.
Our review programme
We are inviting local authorities in England to tell us about any proposals they may have for future electoral or administrative boundary reviews.
We will carry out a programme of reviews between 2009 to 2011, following changes to the law introduced by the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. We are asking local authorities to tell us about any reviews they may be requesting over the next few years so that we can consider all proposals before finalising our work schedule. Further information can be found on our invitation letter (PDF).
