Talk:Redcliffe-Maud Report

Interesting to note that the plans for North West Province are not entirely dissimilar to the current unitary plans.

  • Cumberland & North Westmorland = North Cumbria
  • Furness & North Lancashire = Morecambe Bay
  • the Fylde = Blackpool and the Fylde
  • Preston-Leyland-Chorley = Central Lancashire

Then with Blackburn/Burnley, the only difference in the 2004 proposals is that Ribble Valley should be to Burnley (as part of East Lancashire), rather than associated with Blackburn. Of course, a Blackburn with Ribble was propsed in the 2003 draft.

Also Southport-Crosby is basically the same as the proposed Sefton and West Lancashire (apart from the Bootle thing)
