Worcestershire County Council has asked the government to postpone May's local elections so it can submit a proposal for one unitary authority to replace the seven existing councils in the area.

It would require a series of deals nationwide emulating North Yorkshire, which now has a unitary authority after eight councils were merged together last year.

Central Bedfordshire Council was set up as a unitary authority in 2009 - replacing the county and district council set-up in the county and providing all the council services in its area.

A long-serving Tory councillor, Mr Nunn was elected to lead the county's newly formed unitary authority in 2021.

Ms Harrison represents the Oundle ward on North Northamptonshire Council and is executive member for adults, health and wellbeing on the unitary authority.
