[edit] Successor Authorities
What I'm trying to do with the "fate" column is basically specify which authority, if any, excercises the charter functions today. It will usually be a town council; Charter Trustees; or a borough council. (the only one to have been "taken over" by another borough council seems to be the Mayoralty of Pontefract) I'm not sure really of the value of doing it here, but I can't think of a better place to put it, really.

- Actually it gets a bit complicated: for instance Tewkesbury became part of the bigger Borough of Tewkesbury, but also formed a town council. They seem to have shared out the civic regalia between themselves. I suppose this was all negotiated by the amalgamation committees.
- See here for how Llanelli handled it [1]
- There were "successor parishes" formed for the areas of many small boroughs: I have a list from a 1974 book, but I have not tracked the S.I. that presumably created them.Lozleader 19:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

- Hmm, interesting. Trying new format.. by the way so careful not to editconflict with me. Morwen - Talk 19:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- And I was thinking of adding a column at the front giving the name of the corporation before reform (they were listed in the schedule to the Act) Lozleader 18:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

- Ooh, please do! The lord mayor, burgesses, aldermen, elephants and commonality of the Town and Borough of Nowhere! Morwen - Talk 19:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Does the "Successor" field specify the authorities that immediately replaced the ones listed in the Act? If the column lists only their successors in modern times and if there have been other successor authorities in the mean time, this will need to be made more clear.

- It intends to mark their immediate successors. Morwen - Talk 07:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
