Again, there is no support. I do not see where we can take it.

Again, it is the financial burden on local authorities that becomes the biggest consideration. That is probably not where the petitioner would want to take it, but he cannot ignore the cost implications, even if there was a desire to make a change. It just does not appear to have any support, because of the burden that it would place on local authorities. We are not going to get any agreement on this petition either, so shall we close it?

Members indicated agreement.
