Case Study 4
One medium sized county council modelled as part of this programme disaggregating into either two or three smaller unitary authorities. In this example, the scenarios which disaggregate into two authorities have an average increase in unit cost of 1.5%, introducing additional unit cost pressure of close to £7m per annum across the two new authorities.

The scenario which disaggregates into three smaller authorities (which have populations below 300k) has an average increase in unit cost of 2.8%, introducing additional unit cost pressure of close to £11m per annum across the three new authorities. This analysis also illustrates the uneven distribution of unit cost pressure across the authorities, in particular in the case where three authorities are created rather than two.
