County Champinon

摘要

With relations between counties and districts at a low ebb in the North East, pressures for unitary government and moves to improve the influence of districts within the LGA, Ken Thornber takes over the chairmanship of the County Councils Network (CCN) at an interesting time. The affable Tory leader of Hampshire CC is the epitome of a one nation Tory, keen to serve his community. But he has been frustrated for years by the centralising tendencies of both Conservative and Labour governments.
