Subject:

Last week, the leaders of all Nottinghamshire councils were presented with nine "workable" options for reorganisation by consultancy firm PWC.

Seven of these options involve some form of expansion of Nottingham to include either of the neighbouring boroughs of Rushcliffe, Gedling, and Broxtowe - or any combination of the three.

Could you please provide the details of these nine “workable” options?
