A plan to hold a referendum in Nottinghamshire over scrapping district and borough councils has been rejected.

A group opposed to the "super council", which supporters say would save between £20m and £30m, had put a motion calling for a county-wide referendum to be held.

The Ashfield Independent Party, which opposes the plan, attempted to hold a debate on whether to have a county-wide referendum on the plan.

But because the decision to draw up a business plan was passed by a committee in July, no amendments could be made to that plan for six months, the council said.

A detailed plan is currently being put together by Nottinghamshire County Council for the new council, with a public consultation expected early next year.
