It's time to tell the Government what you think about the future of councils in Essex! 📢

Like most Essex councils, our preference is for five unitary councils. 🖐️

But this isn’t the only option being put forward. 🤔

Let's put Chelmsford first. 💜

Local people should have a strong voice in decisions that affect them. 🙋

There are 15 councils in Essex - but not for long. Soon, there will only be three, four or five.

We think five is best for the people of Chelmsford. 5️⃣

Along with a majority of Essex councils, we've backed a proposal for 5 new unitary authorities, to keep local government as local as possible. 🤝

Chelmsford City Council is backing a proposal for 5 new unitary councils.

Different proposals for 3, 4 and 5 councils are being developed as part of Local Government Reorganisation in Essex.

At last week's Cabinet, city councillors voted to support the 5-council option.

None taken! 😉 Glad you had a good time.
Didn't expect to be wowed by Chelmsford but have enjoyed the town trail this evening, learning about Marconi, ballbearings, Roman roads & 19thC feminist Anne Knight.

Should Essex have 3 or 5 councils in future? 🧐

We're backing a proposal for 5 new councils that would see Chelmsford joining up with Maldon and Brentwood.

Others want 3 councils, where Chelmsford would be grouped together with Maldon, Brentwood, Harlow and Epping.

Big changes are coming to local government. In 3 years’ time, the 15 councils in Essex will be replaced by a smaller number of unitary councils.

We're working on options, and we can’t make important decisions about the future without you.

Please complete our survey. It'll only take a jiffy. ☕🍰
