But there's likely to be a change of emphasis. Rayner's original blueprint called for larger authorities of at least half a million people. Reed was more sympathetic to arguments for smaller unitaries, and has accepted proposals (eg, in Worcestershire) which don't meet that initial requirement.
The Worcestershire split is now a recipe for chaos. The two authorities are talking about "shared" services for almost all the previous County Council services (Highways, etc.) But now with two separate councils making the decisions, and likely never to agree.
