Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

Across Basildon and Billericay, my residents are concerned about the idea of two years of delay while massive reorganisation goes on locally. Will the Minister provide reassurance that the local plan for 27,000 new houses across the area, which has just been consulted on, will not suddenly be rushed through by a local council that will not exist in future, with residents having to live with the consequences for years to come?
