HIGH PEAK MP INVITES PUBLIC OPINION ON THE PROPOSED MERGER BETWEEN HIGH PEAK AND GREATER MANCHESTER COUNCILS
As reported earlier this week, the government has announced plans to devolve some two-tier authorities in the country in order to save costs and streamline services. Locally, a merger between High Peak and Tameside Council has been proposed, and the newly-elected MP for High Peak has voiced his support for High Peak joining Tameside's governance, stating publicly that it's a 'no-brainer.'
Judging by the content of the high volume of recent comments from his constituents in public forums, this proposal is highly divisive, with a number of people expressing a hope that such a move would result in improved access to policing and healthcare, whilst a significant percentage have so far expressed opposition; citing a loss of regional identity and concern that the second largest urban administration in the country could not adequately represent the interests of small rural communities on its fringe; reducing High Peak to little more than a marginal area, receiving little consideration or financial support from the city region.
Mr Pearce has created a form for his High Peak constituents to express their opinions and/or concerns on his website, which can be found here:

Please try to be polite and as constructive as possible with your feedback. 🙂
