Liberal Democrat — Cheltenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

Cheltenham has had a voice since Victoria was on the throne, and we need to be reassured by the Minister that we will retain that voice as part of any devolution and local government reorganisation. Otherwise, power will simply be taken away from my community and given either to Gloucester or as far away as Bristol, with a new regional mayor. Can the Minister reassure me that localism will be part of his agenda too?
