Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) for Southend-on-Sea
Local government reorganisation is where the structure and responsibilities of our existing local authorities are reconfigured.
The government wants to move away from the two-tier system of district and county councils. This means that all 15 existing councils in Essex at this level are to be abolished. Town and parish tier councils, including Leigh Town Council, are unaffected.
A new authority will deliver will deliver all the services you rely on, including:
- waste collections
- roads
- housing
- planning
- play areas, parks and green spaces
- leisure centres
- education
- children's services
- adult social care
