This question was answered on 15th September 2026
Prior to the Secretary of State's oral statement to Parliament on 7 September 2026 on local government reorganisation, six Judicial Review claims had been issued in relation to decisions. The decisions that were the subject of those proceedings have since been withdrawn.
The Department has also received pre-action correspondence in relation to a number of other local government reorganisation decisions.
