County Councils provide the street lighting.

not where I live they don't :-)

Unitary Authority?

or London Borough, City of London or Westminster,


If those are equivalent in the distribution of civic responsibilities
to a unitary authority, then they come into the same basket.


weird isn't it

London Boroughs are technically different to Unitaries but actually
identical

I suppose more things have been given to the Mayor to look after, but I
don't think that was the case when they were first set up


I remember the LCC (London County Council) which was a precursor to the
GLA. Perhaps they did education - like other real counties, whereas now
the Boroughs do?
