Council reform plans to be rewritten, Mark Drakeford says

A planned shake-up of Welsh councils is to be redrawn by the autumn, the new local government secretary has said.
Mark Drakeford said the plan to cut the 22 councils to eight or nine had gone.
In his first interview since taking up the post, he told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales he was looking for a "wider sort of conversation".
Bob Wellington, leader of the Welsh Local Government Association, said it was time to "move on" from mergers and look at other efficiency solutions.
The merger plan faced criticism from opposition parties in the assembly, and from Labour council leaders who felt they could save money by working more closely.
Leighton Andrews, the former public services minister promoting the shake-up, lost his seat at the election in May.
He had told an assembly committee in February "people need to grow up" and reach agreement on the matter....

And if you think that’s an exaggeration of the Brexit position, then just listen to the language they use: “We are a nation of inventors and entrepreneurs, we want to put the great back in Britain, the great engineers, the great manufacturers.” This is all the expression of a sentimental nostalgia. In the Brexiteer’s mind’s eye is the old Pathé newsreel of Donald Campbell, of John Logie Baird with his television, Barnes Wallis and his bouncing bomb, and Robert Baden-Powell inventing boy scouts in his shed.

All we need, their argument goes, is to be free of the humourless Germans and spoilsport French and all their collective liberalism and reality. There is a concomitant hope that if we manage to back out of Europe, then we’ll get back to the bowler-hatted 1950s and the Commonwealth will hold pageants, fireworks displays and beg to be back in the Queen Empress’s good books again. Then New Zealand will sacrifice a thousand lambs, Ghana will ask if it can go back to being called the Gold Coast and Britain will resume hand-making Land Rovers and top hats and Sheffield plate teapots.
