Will local government changes hit stadium plans?

Brakes Trust has asked if the proposed local government reorganisation might lead to further delays in the proposed new stadium.   The leader of Warwickshire CC has proposed a unitary authority for the county with elections delayed until 2027.

For its part the Government might prefer a combined Coventry and Warwickshire authority headed by an elected mayor (not a leader and cabinet as Warwickshire proposes).

Either way the disappearance of the district council might lead to a less favourable political environment for a stadium as projects would be assessed on a county wide basis.

Any proposals will have to go out for consultation and may not be in place until 2028.
