    I believe the answer to the original question is no. We do not need three Councils. We do need Parish councils - perhaps federated with neighbours to provide muscle & cash. We do not need Town Councils in their present format. Neither District Council ot County Councils in their present format work.

    We tried a debate on larger East Kent Strategic Council with stronger Town Council functions as a model a few years back. In effect removing one tier of Council by disbanding KCC & Districts & forming 3 sub regional bodies to replace twelve Districts & KCC. Unfortunately for East Kent one of the four Districts (Shepway) voted against. Influenced by KCC members who were also Shepway members. This would have enabled functions to move down to Town Councils to overcome some of issues identified here.

    There is no doubt reform is necessary .
