Council to vote on unitary authority proposalspublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
Kit Sandeman
Local Democracy ReporterPlans to abolish district and borough councils in Nottinghamshire are set to go to the vote this Thursday. If approved, it will be the first formal step in a process which would see the councils dissolved.
At Nottinghamshire County Council, the ruling Conservative Party is in an informal coalition with the Mansfield Independents, and only has a slim majority.
Image source, Nottinghamshire County CouncilThe vote comes after the leaders and chief executives of the seven district and borough councils met today to discuss the plans.
Supporters of the proposed change, known as a unitary council, say it would save taxpayers money by removing duplication. However opponents say it would be bad for democracy, and would remove local decision making.

End of twitter postThis has been particularly frustrating for some people in Croxton Kerrial where there's been water leaking from a drain on the A607 for several months.
Clive Wood lives in the area and told the BBC he noticed the leak in February and reported it several times.
Today, when the BBC were filming at the scene, a team from Leicestershire County Council arrived to investigate the problem. It was found the leak was being caused by a tree root blocking a pipe, forcing the water out of the drain. The leak has now been stopped.
Quote MessageAs road users will be aware, we’ve had to deal with an unprecedented number of pothole repairs due to the recent harsh winter so we’re now dealing with a backlog of work which we had to reprioritise, including the investigations at Croxton Kerrial.”

BBC Radio DerbyDerbyshire Police said its record for the number of incidents officers have been called to within a 24-hour period has been broken twice in the space of eight days.
The force said they had to deal with "an all-time high" of 809 incidents on 29 June, which was largely due to a combination of the hot weather and the World Cup.
Then this Saturday, as England beat Sweden in the quarter-finals, that figure was topped as the force received 920 calls in just one day.
As reported earlier, Leicestershire police also recorded its busiest ever day on Saturday with 661 emergency calls made in 24 hours.

BBC NewsWhile Nottingham Castle clears up after the England fans on Saturday, a Derby councillor is calling for a big screen in the city to show England's semi-final match.
Amo Raju, who represents the Blagreaves Ward, said every other city seemed to have an outdoor screen and it was "a shame" Derby people would have to watch at home rather than in a big crowd.
"We should celebrate and get the community together and have a shared experience," he said.
"We don't know when England will be in the semi-final again and we don't want to miss this opportunity."
Image source, GoogleDerby City Council said "it's highly doubtful" they will put up a screen and it would have needed advance organisation and commitment for the whole tournament.
There will however be several pubs around the city showing the game on Wednesday evening and Derby County FC said they would be showing it on a large screen inside The Yard restaurant.

Seven-year-old Leah Clarke has 18 separate illnesses including epilepsy, chromosome deletion and Gilbert Syndrome. She needs round the clock care, can't walk and uses signing to communicate.
She lives with her parents Sue and Alan Smart and her brother in Melton Mowbray. The family had to move from the bungalow they rented when the landlord gave them notice it was being put up for sale.
Image source, GoogleSue said a council property they were invited to look around was "totally unsuitable" so the family went back on the housing list and they have now moved to a privately rented property.
Sue said: "Leah is in a room downstairs and we're upstairs, Alan has to carry her up and down the stairs to use the bathroom and it's just not practical."
Quote MessageWe are sorry that Mrs Smart has been affected in this way regarding her housing situation. We would like to work with Mrs Smart and partner agencies to assist her in her search for a property with the appropriate adaptations for her needs."
