UK government abandons plans to delay 30 council elections | BBC News


The UK government has abandoned plans to delay 30 council elections in England, following advice this could be unlawful.

Local Government Secretary Steve Reed had approved delays for the ballots until 2027, arguing some councils were worried about the cost of running elections for authorities which are due to be abolished in a major reorganisation of local government.

Reform UK had launched a legal challenge against the plans to delay May’s elections, which was due to be heard in the High Court on Thursday.

The move was welcomed by opposition parties, who had branded the delays undemocratic.
