​The East & West model developed out of a detailed research study and options appraisal, carried out by independent consultants at KPMG. It has also been shaped by the feedback that citizens, businesses, Parish Councillors, voluntary and community groups and partners have provided to us.
On 9 December 2020, the councils submitted their full proposals for the East & West model.
