Local Government reorganisation survey - deadline today

Dear all,

At the end of November last year Councils across Kent & Medway
submitted five different options for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) to the
Government.

The next stage in the process is for Government to consult on the options presented to
them before they reach a final decision on which option will be taken forward. That
decision is due towards the end of July this year.

The Government is welcoming views
on each of the options for Kent & Medway.

Members and / Local Political Groups and residents are invited by Government to give their own
views on the options which are set out.
We encourage all to respond to this today if you have'nt already. Details of the survey have been included in your council tax notifcation letters.

A summary of the five Options submitted to Government is available on the Kent
Council Leaders website athttps://kentcouncilleaders.org.uk/lgr-consultation/
