No, we've not been asked. It's about time we were. If people knew what goes with Lancashire County Council they'd want it closed down. We did look into forming a unitary authority last year. In the long-run the accountants reckon it will save a lot of money but initially there are additional costs, including that of a referendum. The government wouldn't fund any of it and we can't afford it out of Council Tax so it's a non-starter for now.
