Nottingham’s Big Boundary Shift | Nottingham News

Nottingham’s city limits are about to get a major overhaul as the government greenlights a bold plan to merge the city with parts of three surrounding boroughs, scrapping existing councils for two new ones: Greater Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The move aims to fix outdated boundaries that leave city services underfunded — since most city properties fall into lower tax bands while wealthier areas outside the limits benefit from city resources without paying their fair share. City leaders argue the new structure will unify finances, cut administrative waste, and give workers who commute into the city a voice in its governance. But critics call the plan rushed and politically motivated, warning of legal challenges and accusations of gerrymandering. While city finances have improved, the plan still needs parliamentary approval and won’t take effect until 2028 — with shadow councils and elections kicking off next May to test the waters.
