Botched Business: The damaging process of reorganising local government 2006-2008
M Chisholm and S Leach
Botched Business is an in-depth review of the controversial local government reorganisation, which has so far resulted in the creation of nine new unitary authorities – five counties (Cornwall, Co. Durham, Northumberland, Shropshire and Wiltshire), plus Bedford and Central Bedfordshire, and East and West Cheshire.
The Government’s actions amounted to political deception, creating a cascade of misrepresentations and dishonesties. Government trumpets the virtues of transparency, accountability and public involvement but its actions in this reorganisation flouted its own rhetoric. The authors hold a mirror to public life, and the image is not pretty. The corrosive effect of political deception damages the probity of public affairs in England.
