en English Appraisal of Unitary Options in Bedfordshire European Services Strategy Unit : Publications : ESSU Reports for public bodies, trade unions and community organisations : Regional and City Economies :Appraisal of Unitary Options in Bedfordshire This report assesses the two unitary options for Bedfordshire – a unitary county and two unitary councils consisting of Bedford and Central Bedfordshire (combining Mid and South Bedfordshire District Councils). It is critical of all of the proposals and finds serious flaws in the Government’s option appraisal process, particularly the absence of an enhanced two-tier developmental option and the narrow assessment criteria. Commissioned by 4 UNISON branches in Bedfordshire and submitted to DCLG.
