The new unitaries and the directory

The directory team was busy yesterday making changes to the site database to handle the new unitaries.

The nine new councils take over the responsibilities of more than 40 authorities. To avoid any confusion, and for the foreseeable future, the directory will reflect this shift in responsibility.

Consequently, councils such as Crewe and Nantwich and Berwick-upon-Tweed will still be listed in the directory, but the entry will be accompanied with an explanatory note and link to the new unitary authority now delivering services in that area.

Ultimately, the dissolved authorities will be removed from the 'live data' and included in the reorganisation section.
