How should Hertfordshire’s councils be structured for the future? (Select one and share your thoughts in the comments.)

Hertfordshire’s eleven councils are exploring how local government could be reshaped to deliver simpler, more sustainable, and more accountable services for 1.2 million residents.

The current two-tier system has created overlap and confusion, with responsibilities split between County and Districts. Two main options are on the table: two large Unitary Councils covering east and west Hertfordshire, or four smaller Unitary Councils serving around 300,000 people each.

Both aim to cut duplication and improve efficiency - but which would work best for residents?
