message: Many recommendations were not acted upon. Tony Bryne (1994) notes the following as reasons for delays/no action in the period from 1945 up to 1965/74:
* cost of reorganisation - there wasn't the money
* pressure on legislative timetables
* the war and reconstruction got in the way
* general public were apathetic to reform
* lack of consensus for alternative proposals (all met with some appeal or repugnance)
* arguments over efficiency vs. democracy (large vs. small units)
* Governments knew some areas of local government would be alienated by change and were reluctant to loose influence 
* Fears that changes to boundaries would affect party performance
I'm not sure where this could/should go but it might explain why so much effort was spent without much change. MRSC 15:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
