Buckinghamshire's five councils are to be scrapped in favour of a single county-wide unitary, communities secretary James Brokenshire has announced.

The five councils - Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe – will cease to exist on 1 April 2020, with elections in May of that year, assuming Parliament approves the plans.
