Local Government Reorganisation Survey

Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) have launched a public engagement exercise to gather opinions on the future of local government in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

In December last year the Government announced plans to move towards a new system of local government, removing the two-tier system of district, city and county councils (town and parish councils are unaffected).

Since then, all seven existing county, district and city councils in Cambridgeshire have been working collaboratively to identify viable options for new single-tier councils across the region.

They now want to hear the views of residents, prior to proposals being developed further and submitted to Government in November.

The survey asks people what is important in terms of services, what they would like to see delivered by their new unitary authority, and where in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough they visit to socialise, work or access health services. A series of focus groups are also being arranged.

The public survey is available here on HDC’s website. Hard copies are also available at the Parish Office and at the reception desk in Pathfinder House, Huntingdon.

The survey will close at midnight on 20th July 2025.
