Scoop: London Boroughs to be completely reorganised by Tories
I'm only guessing, but if you add one and one together and make five, out of the confusion of the London Libraries Change Programme (still communicating no news), it appears that the Conservative Party could secretly be planning to reduce the number of London Boroughs from 32 to 5.
The five are 'North, South, East, West and Central'. Presumably they are desperately hiding this plan until after the general election.
It's not a bad idea but, being parochial, will be a long time, if ever, it makes improvements to public libraries. Nevertheless I'm sure it will be immense fun for all those officials, politicians and the press who occupy themselves with these things. The questions will be whether it actually saves more money than it costs to do and whether it makes life in London better or worse-- and I guess we will never ever know the truth about those things.
