More details from petition creator
England is infested with undemocratic, unaccountable regional quango's. These include regional assemblies, regional development agencies, regional observatories and the new city regions.
None of these quango's are elected and none of them answer to the public yet they cost the taxpayer billions of pounds.
This whole tier of unwanted regional government should be abolished and the powers and responsibilites they have given back to our elected local councils.
