What are Community Governance Reviews (CGRs)?
This statutory process, triggered by residents in Emsworth and Hayling Island, allows the council to consider whether changes are needed to the way local communities are represented and governed.
The reviews look at whether new parish councils should be created for Emsworth and/or Hayling Island, whether alternative forms of community representation would be more appropriate or whether no change to local governance is preferred.
