Proposed unitary named in option D
UK Local Elections 2026: Mentioned in: MP says option D splits HuntingdonshireBackground
Greater Peterborough is the proposed name for a unitary authority in a Cambridgeshire Local Government Reorganisation proposal. On 1 September, it appeared in an option that would divide Huntingdonshire between Greater Peterborough and another proposed authority, Mid Cambridgeshire.
The proposal had not become an established council as of 1 September. A minister did not confirm the option, and no Structural Changes Order had been laid during the reporting window. The name therefore identifies a possible future administrative arrangement, not a current local authority.
