Isn't the Isle of Wight a County devoid of subsidiary components?
The only current mention of "county" seems to be in the name of their
HQ which seems to be basically a case of not "fixing" an established
address. It has actually got "subsidiary authorities" in the form of
town/community councils (which I'd forgotten about) but not in the
form which I had in mind of authorities which provide day-to-day
council services (e.g. roads, rubbish, welfare, etc.).

I think some parish and district councillors might get upset at the
suggestion that their councils are in any way subsidiary to the council of
the county in which they are located. Although county, district and parish
councils (community councils in Wales) are sometimes described as 1st, 2nd
and 3rd tier authorities, they are independent in terms of their
decision-making and precept setting, not being answerable to the tier or
tiers above them.
