Essex议员支持五个单一理事会的计划,以提高效率和增加地方代表。 Essex MPs back plan for five unitary councils to boost efficiency and local representation.

由埃塞克斯议员组成的跨党派团体支持了一项计划,在10个地方议会的支持下,将地方政府重组为5个单一权力机关。 A cross-party group of Essex MPs has backed a plan to reorganize local government into five unitary authorities, supported by ten local councils. 该提案旨在提高效率、削减费用和维持地方代表性,由每个议员监督大约3 200名居民。 The proposal aims to improve efficiency, cut costs, and maintain local representation, with each councillor overseeing about 3,200 residents. 它避免了更大的“超级理事会”,并且被视为比替代方案更具可持续性,因为替代方案将使议员人数减少60%。 It avoids larger "mega councils" and is seen as more sustainable than alternatives that would reduce councillor numbers by 60%. 政府已要求提供有关减少地方当局的投入,五统一处理模式目前是获得最广泛支持的备选办法。 The government has requested input on reducing local authorities, and the five-unitary model is currently the most widely supported option.
