Bernard, at last, something I can totally agree with, like yourself I was against LCC at the last reorganisation, I'm all in favour of the money being raised through the Council Tax being spent locally, on the households that pay it, at present only approx 19 pence in every pound is guaranteed being spent here the rest is designated through County Hall, as you say there is no need for a two tier Local Government Structure, Unitary Authorities are the way forward
