[Talk-GB] New Unitary Authorities in Northamptonshire

[Colin Smale]

Hi Richard,

The relations are now all in place. The new relations were prepared in advance. Only the district councils were affected; civil parishes and their councils, such as Wellingborough Town Council, are not affected by this change except that they now "report to" one of the new Unitaries instead of the old district councils.

Regards,
Colin

The old county council for Northamptonshire was also abolished, although it still exists as a ceremonial county of course.
