Three southern Staffordshire councils have unveiled a local government reorganisation plan aimed at creating three unitary authorities.

Under the proposals, one authority would cover Lichfield, Tamworth, and East Staffordshire with a population of over 322,000, while a second would serve Cannock Chase, Stafford and South Staffordshire with a population of 360,000. The third authority would encompass Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire Moorlands and Stoke-on-Trent, serving nearly 495,000 residents.
