MEMBERS of Lichfield City Council are set to give their views on plans for local government reorganisation.

The move away from two-tier authorities to a unitary model will see services currently delivered by Staffordshire County Council and Lichfield District Council run by a single body in future.

Five proposals have been put forward, with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government seeking views from other councils on the options.

A report to a meeting of Lichfield City Council said:

> “While individuals may respond fully to all sections of the consultation, it would be impractical for Lichfield City Council, as a corporate body, to agree detailed responses to every question on every proposal – to do so would require the council to comment extensively on proposals it does not support.  
>  
> “It is therefore considered appropriate for the council’s formal response to focus on  
> endorsing its preferred option. The consultation process allows for a separate written submission, and it is proposed that this route be used.”

Lichfield District Council has already thrown its weight behind a proposal which would see the local area form part of a unitary authority alongside East Staffordshire and Tamworth.

The report to the city council meeting on Monday (9th March) added:

> “Council is asked to agree which proposal it supports and resolve accordingly, together with conferring delegated authority on the Town Clerk to submit the city council’s response to the consultation.”
