Lancashire County Council is making a legal bid to preserve its right to contest the government's planned local council reorganisation.

Lancashire County Council is making a legal bid to preserve its right to challenge the government's planned reorganisation of local councils. The authority has taken this step to ensure it does not lose the ability to legally contest the shake-up while awaiting the government's decision.

The council's move comes after the government has remained silent on when it will announce its reorganisation plans. By acting now, the authority is attempting to safeguard its legal position ahead of any formal announcement from the government about the proposed changes to local government structure in the region.
