District Councils
(asked on 28th April 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of joint working between councils in two-tier local authority areas.
This question was answered on 28th April 2020
In a two-tier area, effective joint working between county and district councils is essential, especially at this time of national emergency.
However, the Government recognises that unitary councils can facilitate more integrated decision-making, better service delivery, greater local accountability and empowered local communities.
