Getting slightly off topic, but one of my pet peeves about Stamford (where I live) is that we are not part of Rutland. Stamford is part of Lincolnshire but stuck way down the bottom on its own, surrounded on three sides by other counties, one being Rutland. We are really neglected by the county and district councils. Take a look at a map[0] (if you haven't seen before) of the county boundary around our little town, it is so stupid. It would make so much more sense for us and a few of the surrounding villages to be annexed too Rutland, it would increase the GDP of the county helping it to become more sustainable. During the Covid lockdowns there was only one road out of town you could legally drive down. Fortunately it looks like the beginning of this may be happing, the proposed parliamentary boundary redrawing moves us to share an MP with Oakham. First of many steps.
