Councils should share services and managements but not their politicians, Caroline Spelman said during a Q and A session. In answer to a question about government reorganisation she said: ‘I want to keep the political frontline but share services across the tiers. But we don't want any more restructuring.' Ms Spelman, to display her localist tendencies, said she would ‘like' rather than ‘order' councils to keep their council tax rates to zero in the first two years of a Conservative Government.
