The Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, Cllr. Kay Cutts has announced plans to scrap Gedling Borough and the other six districts and boroughs in Nottinghamshire. She plans to replace this with one super council for Nottinghamshire.

Residents of Gedling were not consulted before these proposals were announced.

This ill-thought-through plan risks council tax from Gedling taxpayers being sent elsewhere to prop up other areas and will remove local democracy and decision-making.

Our message to the Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council is clear: Keep your hands off our local assets, services and communities.

Keep your hands off Gedling. We are opposed to the scrapping of Gedling Borough or any takeover of its boundaries.
