Require a referendum in the local area subject to a council being abolished

Petition Details

The current process allows Government to force top-down council reorganisations without a final, binding say from local residents. We believe that local consultations are often flawed. We demand the law be changed to give residents the democratic right to a referendum.

Additional Information

Giving people a final say in a binding local referendum is the only democratic way to ensure reorganisations of local councils can only be done if there is support from the local people.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
