Re: Warning - something I know too much about
The governments plans are to split the rural districts into two (East and West) and saddle the West with the debt ridden Borough. This is despite a huge number of responses in the 'consultation' from residents in the West not wanting to be lumped with the Borough.
Sadly I don't think the split was ever going to be anything else due to the county demographics. The only consolation for me at least (as was ever the case) is that Northampton is a long way away from Brackley :)
