8 Councils are planned to be rid of and this was kept secret, 3 months ago nothing was mentioned in the planning meetings
E Mids and W Mids should not be compared with respect to funding.
County Council is running out of money and District have it. They are looking for efficiency but very little detail provided how that will be derived. £30m needs to be saved.
Currently 7 Districts work together and so no set up costs are required. All 7 local MPS are against Unitary Council of Leics South and Leics North.
