Stratford-on-Avon District Council will be holding an Extraordinary Full Council meeting on Monday 10 February at 2pm at Elizabeth House, Stratford-upon-Avon to discuss the implications for the Council from Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation arising from the recent government white paper.
The additional meeting has been organised to allow Councillors to discuss devolution plans as well as giving the opportunity to members of the public to come along and have their views heard.
Cllr Susan Juned, Leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council said: "I am keen for all Councillors and the public to engage in this discussion and help us move forward in securing the best outcomes for our local communities. Whilst we welcome the opportunities that may exist for devolution in our region, we do need to think hard about what the future local government structures should be.
"This meeting will also provide a chance for our residents, local businesses and organisations to share their views with us and to help us form views on the proposals."
Public attendance at the meeting is on a first come first served basis and capacity is limited to 56 in the Council Chamber, however the meeting will be live streamed on the Council's YouTube channel - Stratford DC - YouTube
If members of the public wish to speak at the meeting, they must register to speak by 12noon on 5 February 2025 and should contact Democratic Services at committeemanagers@stratford-dc.gov.uk or telephone 01789 260245 for further advice.
