Malvern Hills Council Update
Malvern Hills councillors have voted in favour of submitting a two-council proposal to Government.
Published: 19 November 2025
At a meeting last night (18 November), members voted in favour of submitting the proposal ‘Transforming Worcestershire’ to Government by 28 November.
This sets out the vision for two new unitary councils to be created – one covering North Worcestershire and one South Worcestershire – running all services in their area. They would replace the current six district councils and Worcestershire County Council.
The proposal aims to radically improve council services and outcomes for residents, businesses, and visitors across the county.
It has been put together in collaboration with Bromsgrove, Redditch, Wychavon, and Worcester councils following June’s ‘Shape Worcestershire’ public engagement exercise, which saw 62.5 per cent of respondents favouring a two-council model.
