I don't know why it was necessary to create these new formal counties.
Presumably the original legislation creating the unitary authorities was
botched. Why didn't they just re-create County Boroughs?

The 1990s unitaries were made to fit in with post-1972 local government
legislation which didn't include County Boroughs. They are essentially the
same though modern unitaries are not the same as the old County Boroughs
in a number of respects. Peterborough shares a number of services with
Cambridgeshire including the Fire and Rescue service, Police, Waste
Disposal arrangements, structure plan and a Lord Lieutenant.
