You can't always get what you want.
Many county and district councils will be effectively bankrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. That means central government will have to choose how much local government it wishes to maintain and pay for. It may choose to move services outside of the democratic sector, with the council tax being expanded to pay for them, and to run them without what it sees as the unnecessary burden of council bureaucracy.
