'Super council' plan branded 'ridiculous'published at 15:56 British Summer Time 30 April 2018

Reporter BBC Radio NottinghamTalks to create an East Midlands Combined Authority are “simply ridiculous” the Nottinghamshire County Council Labour group leader said.
Alan Rhodes said he's always been in favour of a devolution deal but that removal of district and borough councils would hurt front line services.
Quote MessageLabour is completely opposed to the creation of a so-called 'super council' between the counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. Geographically the area is far too big, and the idea of such remote governance would not only destroy the identity of our Nottinghamshire towns and villages but would also mean the end of local decision making."
Cllr Alan Rhodes, Nottinghamshire County Council
