Half a century ago on Monday - April Fool’s Day 1974 - the way our local councils and health services were set up changed almost beyond recognition.
To plenty, it was no laughing matter, and those with longer memories still smart at the removal of Middlesbrough from North Yorkshire, or the creation of Humberside. The seeds of change had started three years earlier, in 1971, when Ted Heath’s Secretary of State for the Environment, Peter Walker presented a white paper on the issue of local government reform.
As the former Tory MP for Beverley James Cran would later put it, “almost the day after the decision was announced a campaign began to have Humberside abolished”. Such was the animosity in Humberside, that boundary signs welcoming visitors to “England’s Newest County” were removed, because the cost of repairing the repeated criminal damage done to them was becoming unsustainable. Legend has it that school textbooks bearing the troubled local authority’s insignia were frequently burned.
