    Yes Keith.

    The only way for local government to shake off central government is for it to be given the ability to raise all its spending with nothing coming from the centre,

    Business rates should be the first to be kept locally where it is raised. I would suggest a county based (or large City outside the counties) sales tax to replace VAT. That should be enough for councils to raise their own dosh with no support from the centre. A few areas might have a problem and will need transitional support.
