- Will Buckinghamshire get a mayor or join a Thames Valley strategic authority?
- In February 2026, Buckinghamshire Council, led by Conservative Leader Cllr Steven Broadbent, asked the Government to take Buckinghamshire out of the proposed Thames Valley Strategic Authority, a mayoral area covering Oxfordshire, the six Berkshire councils and Swindon. The council said there was "no consensus for our inclusion" and that it remains "ready to progress such devolution at pace" for Buckinghamshire on its own.

- Does local government reorganisation affect Buckinghamshire's councils?
- Buckinghamshire already has a single unitary council, created on 1 April 2020 to replace the county council and four district councils. The reorganisation in the Government's December 2024 Devolution White Paper is aimed mainly at areas that still have two tiers of council. Town and parish councils, including Beaconsfield Town Council, carry on. In April 2026 the Government confirmed a devolution deal giving Buckinghamshire Council direct control of £6 million of adult skills funding.Sources: Buckinghamshire Council, 30 April 2026 · Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet, 11 March 2025
