Proposed Unitary Councils for Staffordshire
Three southern Staffordshire councils have proposed a local government reorganisation plan to create three new unitary authorities.
- Lichfield, Tamworth, and East Staffordshire: over 322,000 population
- Cannock Chase, Stafford, and South Staffordshire: 360,000 population
- Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire Moorlands, and Stoke-on-Trent: nearly 495,000 residents
According to the councils behind the plan, 75% of 16,700 local residents consulted support a move to three smaller councils.
Officials argue the reorganisation would deliver significant cost savings across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, potentially up to £22m.
This would be achieved by reducing duplication, streamlining services, and simplifying governance.
