Re: What would this cost us
If it meant that taxpayer's money was spent responsibly on the needs of the people of the borough as opposed to the scandalous empire building and waste that goes on at County Hall, then yes, I am sure people could be persuaded to part with a bit extra. After all, Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen don't seem to be doing too badly by being out of the county system and they seem to have few problems in attracting funding from Europe and HMG.
To change the subject slightly, did anyone see the report on yesterday evenings BBC news about two chaps removing those ridiculous "You are now entering/leaving Lancashire" signs that some fool at County Hall has insisted be put on almost all the roads around the two errant boroughs? How much did this example of bureaucratic pique cost taxpayers? And moreover, what point does it serve?
