Summary

This paper highlights some key learning from the implementation of unitary structures in seven county areas on 1 April 2009. That process established nine new unitary councils: Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council, Cheshire East Borough Council, Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, Cornwall Council, Durham County Council, Northumberland County Council, Shropshire Council and Wiltshire Council. Following their establishment, we have sought to draw together the key learning from implementing those unitary structures. CLG is grateful to all those who took the time to support this work.
