Well that isn't my worry but my hope. But Wessex and Cornwall are very different. The Cornish really have a seperateness, it went down hill in the 19th century, often due like the Welsh to Westminister itself, but it is still strong.

It's interesting to note, that the overwhelming majority of residents (some 80% when consulted by District Councils) opposed the Unitary Authority, which is supposed to be gaining extra powers from Westminster.

Cornwall already have a council. I thought unitary authorities were just for large towns and cities and such who wanted to have more autonomy from the county council.
