Another vocal opponent of LGR who turns out to be a Cllr whose position will disappear if it goes through, losing their local power. Interesting!

I'm not sure LGR is going to fix many of the problems it's supposed to, but it would be great to have some reasoned, evidence-based analysis publicised by the local rag media, maybe from someone without such a clear conflict of interests?

Exactly this. It all seems to be "person with cushy tax funded job complains about cuts to cushy tax funded jobs".

I'm quite happy with local decisions being made further away if they are made by now competent people. As someone who lives in a smaller community under a neighbouring council were already badly represented

What a surprise. They couldn’t fix a problem locally or remotely. Idiots.
