- All the Derbyshire local councils above Parish Council level have started a consultation on the future of local authorities in the county, running from 30th June to 10th August. The Government believes having fewer local councils will deliver services more cheaply and effectively. The ten Derbyshire local councils have jointly produced a leaflet setting out the choices they feel will best deliver the Government’s objectives and they invite residents to “Have your say”. There is an online questionnaire which should take around ten minutes to complete, which you can find here: bit.ly/Derbyshire-consultation
