County Hall plans for unitary status

I understand officers at County hall were as shocked to hear as I was of the Lib-Dem and Tory plans to reduce Exeter's role to little more than that of a parish council when they announced their proposals for a Unitary Devon.

I had to check the date - just to make sure that it wasn't a belated April Fool's Day joke. But no, they are serious.

How can Lib-Dems and Tories on the City Council (many of whom are dual Councillors and sit on both Exeter and Devon County Councils) be happy with these plans?
