The case for a unitary council for Cumbria

Cumbria County Council has proposed replacing the existing county council and six district councils with a new single council for the whole of Cumbria. The Government's consultation on the plans to transform local government in Cumbria ran until June 22, with a decision expected in July 2007 on whether the bid is successful.
