Central Government has announced the national Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) programme and timetable is on pause and under review.

No new timeline has been set for the process, which proposed replacement of current district, city and county councils, with new unitary authorities from 2028.

Fenland District Council elections are now expected to take place next year, after Government said May 2027's elections will be based on existing council boundaries.

The announcement means a pause on LGR in several areas across the country, including Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
