The future of local government reorganization in Rutland shouldn't sit with one person, says the county's MP Alicia Kearns told the audience at her second meeting to hear residents' views last night.
She believes the leader of Rutland County Council will have the final say on the authority's position and that councillors are unlikely to vote on the future of the authority at next week's public meeting. Leicestershire County Council are proposing two unitary councils, one for the city and one for the county, which Rutland look likely to join. The audiences of the meetings held at Victoria Hall voted to divide Leicestershire into two, with a population of closer to the government's minimum of 380,000 population.
