Labour is scrapping Stroud District Council. Our reaction: stroud.greenparty.org.uk/news/2026/07...

Image showing map of 6 district council areas merging into one. Text reads: "Labour is scrapping Stroud District Council. The government’s choice of a single unitary council for Gloucestershire is the ‘least-worst’ of the three options that had been proposed. It’s good to have clarity at last. But we still believe that local government reorganisation in any form is unnecessary, unwanted and massively costly."

Photo of a smiling Councillor Chloe Turner, Green Leader of Stroud District Council. Quote reads "Our priority now is to ensure that staff are well supported to deliver this huge change on top of their day job, keeping up service levels for residents and businesses, and – further down the line – that we get the best out of the reorganisation for our Stroud district communities"
