Implementation

One Council for Shropshire will be implemented by April 2009 at the latest. The Government is consulting on various approaches to implementation. You can read the Government’s suggested approach, and draft responses from Shropshire County Council, in the report attached to this page (CLG-response-appendix). We expect the Government decisions on implementation – including the timing of elections to the new council – during October 2007.
The County Council’s approach to implementation is to be as inclusive as possible, so that all those involved in the reorganisation can work together to make the very most of this opportunity to get the best outcomes for Shropshire people.
