Reform of local government

A recent post seen on the blog of Cllr Gareth Davies from the North East, covers some issues around the current ‘talks’ of local Government reform, but importantly this post covers a theme which appears to have come up in most places that I have taken part in, or heard about discussions on this issue, which is - what is the obsession with reform of local government that some ministers seem to have ?

Perhaps for a change the debate should be about giving back some of the powers that were taken from local councils and letting us ‘get on with the job’, and perhaps concentrating the reform agenda on central government for a change.
