	City Mayors: Local government in the United Kingdom
		In Scotland, Wales and urban England, with the exception of London, single-tier unitary authorities provide all local services, whereas non-metropolitan England is served by a two-tier system split between district and county councils.
		Unitary authorities had already existed in Greater London and the six former metropolitan counties in form of metropolitan districts following the abolition of the Greater London Council and the six metropolitan county councils under the 1985 Local Government Act.
		The new unitary authorities created between 1995 and 1998 resembled their predecessors but are not usually banded with them legally because of the different legislation required to establish them (though they are henceforth known collectively in this book as ‘single-tier authorities’).

		Labour in Wales, while acknowledging the need for salaried, executive "lead councillors", and the delegation of increased powers to them should contend for the retention of collegiate decision-making, and the direct participation of all elected councillors in the key executive decisions, including decisions upon the scope of delegation.
