London is considering expanding into Slough, raising discussions about a potential merger at Slough Borough Council's upcoming cabinet meeting. The idea emerges amidst Slough's recent designation as the most miserable place to live in the UK, prompting debates on local government restructuring. Options include merging with another council or integrating into the Greater London Authority. Despite some theoretical benefits, local opinions express significant resistance towards this change, citing Slough's infamous reputation and fears that such a move would worsen its perception.
Many have expressed frustration about the potential move, with one person writing on Reddit: It's bad enough to have [Slough] touching' London never mind the prospect of it becoming an actual part of London.
Council papers state: Considering Slough's geographic position and unique characteristics, there are several potential avenues which the council can pursue in relation to devolution and reorganisation.
