I'm not surprised that the other councils are reluctant to have WNC and NNC join the regional group. The Conservatives bankrupted Northamptonshire County Council, and we voters in our wisdom rewarded their incompetence by voting in the same people to run the subsequent unitary authorities! 1st May is less than four months away, there will be only 76 councillors in WNC rather than 93, and quite a few of the old guard will the standing down. Let's hope the voters are willing to spring clean!

What other County councils would wish to partner with Northamptonshire may i ask? They have a history of driving themselves into debt. Do they really thing that devolution will sort out all of their debts problems? I am pretty sure that Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Luton etc..are not willing to bail out Northamptonshire. Why should they?
