The process of local government reorganisation which began at the start of the year is now moving beyond its first stage.

Rutland is included in  plans that are tied to two separate geographies (Leicestershire and Lincolnshire): these are:

• a three-unitary model covering the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland area, which could see Rutland form part of a new council serving North Leicestershire and Rutland
• one of several options in the Greater Lincolnshire area interim plan, which could see Rutland join with North Kesteven, South Kesteven and South Holland
• an option being tabled by Leicester City Council, which could expand the city boundaries and include Rutland in a single Leicestershire unitary.

To understand each option please click on the following link  www.rutland.gov.uk/devolution.

People living in Rutland now have an opportunity to give more feedback on the North, City, South proposal, following the launch of a public engagement exercise that will run until 20 July 2025. Further information, including details of how to share your views on this plan can be found online by visiting: www.northcitysouth.co.uk
