LOCAL authorities must still offer the same services under government plans to abolish dozens of district councils, Unison insisted today.

Ministers will produce an English devolution white paper outlining plans to end the two-tier system of local government and replace it with larger unitary authorities.

The proposals are reportedly aimed at saving about £3 billion over five years with Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk among the counties set to be restructured.
