Ahead of the May 6 locals – some key facts and figures – politicalbetting.com
The reason the totals are showing a decline is because of local boundary changes and the application of a government policy to reduce the overall number of councillors and council wards .

(Is that how cricket works?)
For Hawksmoor I prefer St Mary Woolnoth, just by the statue of Wotsit Peabody near Bank Station.
FPT: I did, and thanks for the correction.
Whoever thought it was a great idea to release a film in UHD with a 4:3 aspect ratio needs to have deep and long think about their life choices.
This maybe a very long four hours of my life I may not get back.
"Do others have a favourite City Church?
Having visited them all I probably go for St Vedast-alias-Foster due to the modest Epstein in the Courtyard and All Hallows on the Wall because the ceiling is like a perfect drawing room."
Like Topping I'd go for Hawksmoor's Christ Church, Spitalfields. Possibly my favourite church in the world, not just London. But is it in the City, technically? I think not
So I'd go for either St Brides, Fleet St (Roman foundations in the cellar!), St Stephen Walbrook - Wrenaissance perfection - or St Bartholomew the Great - medieval and picturesque

Should England recall Hales and put Buttler down the order?
And fair play to the EMA for coming out with a fairly clear answer.
I'd still bet on us to win the decider.
And this is very much Zack Synder's directors cut.
Peter Ackroyd's novel Hawksmoor captures some of this sublime darkness
And of course its location, Spitalfields, is perfect. Ancient streets, memories of Jack the Ripper, Huguenot silk weavers, beigels and biryainis on Brick Lane, amazing new restaurants and bars, the City surging into the sky a few hundred yards away.
God I miss London. Can we have it back now, please?
I think the correct format to watch this turns out to be my 12.9 inch iPad Pro.
Freedom!!!!
As to (not) being in the City you could be right - I remember when that area was artists studios after the market proper closed. Fantastic time. Then The City encroached and it all became a bit tatt-y and "street food".
Rather like Cheltenham, an interesting set of races.
What may be interesting is whether we see, as in 2019, a proliferation of anti-development Independents or Residents Association candidates in the south east challenging sitting Conservatives and whether these can forge any kind of electoral pact with other non-Conservative parties.

(I don't think they are one and the same, but I could be wrong)
However, London will be an absolute car-crash, and Labour will do well enough in the Mets and university towns/cities.
The two that stood out, in the sense that they were that bit different, were St Barts as it is relatively complete medieval, and the one by the Tower (forget its name) due to the crypt.
But doing a tour of them is highly recommended, just don't do what we did and try to cram in too many at once.

Northumberland manages with 67.
Scaled up that would make fewer than 14 000 in the UK.
And meanwhile, the first mutterings about rising case rates have started.
We've no idea how long this is going to drag on for, and how long we're going to be locked up. The easiest thing to do is dispense with all the reassurances about timetables and plans, and not to assume that any of it will happen until it actually does. Seeing is believing.
But any government which moved us to all unitaries would face a mass rebellion from their council base.
Italy said it will resume AstraZeneca vaccinations on Friday, and other countries are expected to follow. Milan's largest vaccine center told CNN it would overbook appointments in an attempt to make up for the shortfalls of the past few days. Ireland's Prime Minister had earlier told CNN he hoped his country could "catch up fairly quickly" once the vaccination program resumed.
But experts fear that some damage has already been done. In France, an Elabe poll showed this week that only 22% of the population now trusts the AstraZeneca vaccine. Remi Salomon, a senior French hospitals official, told BFM TV on Thursday that "people are being overly cautious" in the country and that he feared "people will not interpret" the suspensions in "the right way."
"A scare like this has the potential to increase vaccine hesitancy," Michael Head, senior research fellow in Global Health at the University of Southampton in Britain, told CNN earlier in the week. "These vaccines are to protect against a pandemic virus. There is an urgency to the rollout."
We're getting the March ramp, followed by the April slump.
What will happen after that? Fuck knows.
Sadly given the generous allowances councillors receive I cannot see the move to all unitaries happening.
The Unitarian Church in Nottingham, aka Pitcher & Piano
Just not in Surrey
No shit.
Edit - Speak of the devil, JohnO is here.
What doe that mean for Germany?
But at the end of the day people are not as emotionally invested in their council areas as the councils pretend to think (though ceremonial counties seem to get that approach), and while the public usually do oppose and cause ructions, once it happens people get used to it very quickly.
But the councillors will mutiny hard, as JohnO rightly says.
But they won't. Handelsblatt never apologised over the "8% effective" story.
My opinion of our EU neighbours - by this I mean some of their media and many of their politicians - could not, I fear, go any lower.
Google clearly wants to be there. Nobody is, but who's trying?
"My Lord, I believe that I am truly called to the life and work of a deacon in your church."
I remember that so well. I'd last seen the bloke pissed as a fart and arguing with a taxi driver.
He went on to serve as an Army Chaplain in Afghanistan. At the time I thought he was nuts but I'm not so sure now.
Presumably they can use Russian contractors with no interest in doing business in the United States. Germany won't care about pissing off Biden. Its leadership is Russophile and it's desperate for the gas.

And they are so varied, it's not just Wren. Go!
Whoever thought ‘Cheshire West and Chester’ was a clever name should be taken out and shot.
At least in the ‘70s they *tried* to come up with sensible names.
