The government said local action was "exactly what we need to drive up employment and drive down poverty".

The mayor represents two million people living in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and County Durham.There are nine councils in total - not including town and parish councils - each with a chief executive and a headquarters.

It's also particularly problematic for the city council, because it has a small boundary, mostly covering low-income areas, with 80% of properties in council tax bands A or B.Meanwhile, much of the city's more affluent suburbs aren't actually in the city's administrative area.

People living in those suburbs might go into the city and use city services, but they don't contribute to the city pot through council tax.At this point, it seems like this system's days are numbered.
