I'm a big fan of delegating power downwards when it makes sense so I'd like to see more power delegated there. However there's now such a level of under-investment and resulting people drain and incompetence in local government you'd have to fix funding, recruiting and also people's views on local councillors first.
What it would mean for the giant unitary councils I am not sure. They would in some ways overlap if there were a set of English parliaments.
