No Reform areas in the Electoral Map? Or is that covered by Independent?
I've been wondering why this 'devolution' plan seems to result in both 'dilution' of local representation (by creating bigger authorities) and 'centralisation' through FPTP mayors (guess which parties will get those posts). Maybe it's just about stretching budgets but less obviously.
I've concluded I'm (a) too thick to understand offhand and (b) too lazy to make my brain bleed looking at the White Paper, etc.
The Wainscott site looks as if it is either in or butts up against the London Green Belt - though here the landscape value is probably less than chunks of the Peninsula or than the Capstone/Darland/Hempstead area. Getting the London Green Belt off our backs so we can decide these things for ourselves might be useful.
