Should have followed the Stoke On Trent route years ago.

Merge the Unitary Authorities into a larger Metropolitan.

I would agree, but the river flowing through the middle of it and the historic Durham/Yorkshire boundary means people don't see themselves as being part of a single area. Plus the demographics are very different - Hartlepool has little in common with Yarm for example. Saltburn people probably wouldn't want to be part of an area with, say, Billingham.

You're 48 years too late with that one. Although, incredibly, some people STILL put Cleveland as part of their address???

Port Stanley is on the list
