Centalised govenment does'nt always work unfortunately especially for the majority of bods. When in 1974 the whole thing was rearranged Scotland ened up with Reiginol Councils (old shire councils) and District Councils to replace Town Councils. At the time it worked and was going along nicely each nowing what it had to do with the odd Donald Duck up along they way the same as all other coucils. Then some faceless nitwit decided it would be better to centralise everything at district level (it aint broken but we can make it better).
Well these wazzocks went ahead with it and the result is chaos some towns (mainly were the council sit getts money and development aplenty and the rest do an impression of street urchins. Another problem is too much power among too few (here we have 2 brothers who think they are the council) who behave kind of like Lords of the Manor. Yes HBC is a pain but if it was to cenralise like here then we would be in a mess. They cannot orginise what they have now so what would happen if they had the resposibilities at present with LCC? I do not want to even give this thought a nano second in my head. Been there seen it bought the post card. Just replace the cowboys and hope you dont end up with appaches!
