I met with the Minister for Local Government, Rishi Sunak MP, and some of my other colleagues who represent Northamptonshire constituencies, to discuss the restructuring of local government in Northamptonshire, as we move towards the new unitary councils system. We will continue to have these regular meetings to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible, and that we work with the Government to get it right - identifying any issues and then finding ways to sort these out. Given the meeting we had last week with the council leaders, this meeting was held at a particularly good time, as it gave an opportunity to share the latest feedback with the Minister. As such, if there are any concerns you have, and would like me to raise during this process, I would be more than happy to do so. As ever, please don’t hesitate to email me at pursglovet@parliament.uk.
