Very good SteveH. But how many of us have the time and the patience to do what you did. I'm afraid I hav'ent. If I hadn't hung up the phone in desperation, I would have said "please yourself if you want to stick a new sign up." There we are, you are to be admired but my slightly volatile patience wouldn't have let me do it.
Whilst in this thread Jonty Hammers stated he thought it might be a bit regressive to bring back something like the old giant Gwynedd and Clwyd county councils.
Yes, you could be right. But don't forget it was'ent just these two super councils and they were broken up and the new boundaries.
Its a good while ago, over 25 years, but I am reasonably sure a whole tier of local government was wiped out at the same time. I think it was the big two, then smaller councils like Rhyl, Llandudno, then very small parish councils, town councils call them what you like.
So you could have three councils operating in the same patch. As an example the big councils were responsible for the main transport road links, the A55 as an example. But smaller roads, maybe Mostyn Street, would be Llandudnos responsibility. I do know that this led to friction between councils. I remember some village council laying in to Clwyd in the enormous Shire Hall in Mold because one of their lorries was being parked at night and they claimed in was damaging their village green.
