Proposals - Local Government Reorganisation
Information on the three potential options for a new arrangement of councils
All seven of the councils in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have been working together to discuss potential options for a new arrangement of councils. Three options - based on existing Council boundaries - are currently on the table.
Following initial work between all seven local councils, these three options are all deliverable and have different strengths.
The current options are:
Proposal A North-West/South-East Option
| Unitary 1 | Peterborough City Council, Huntingdonshire and Fenland District Councils - along with County Council functions |
Unitary 2 | Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire and South Cambridgeshire District Councils - along with County Council functions | |
Proposal B A North/South Option
| Unitary 1 | Peterborough City Council, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland and Huntingdonshire District Councils - along with County Council functions |
Unitary 2 | Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council - along with County Council functions | |
Proposal C An East/West Option
| Unitary 1 | Peterborough City Council, East Cambridgeshire and Fenland District Councils - along with County Council functions |
Unitary 2 | Cambridge City Council, Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire District Councils - along with County Council functions |
