The review is considering a number of options, which are:
- To abolish the Parish Council of Little Ponton and Stroxton and re-classify as a Parish Meeting.
- To group Little Ponton and Stroxton Parish with Great Ponton Parish Council under a common council (an arrangement where two or more parishes join under a common parish council).
- To retain the current arrangements. The Parish Council of Little Ponton and Stroxton would remain separate to the Parish Council of Great Ponton.
A key part of any Community Governance Review is public consultation. The first stage of consultation with residents in the Parish of Little Ponton and Stroxton and the neighbouring parish of Great Ponton took place from 8 March until 19 April 2024.
