. Somewhere like Blackpool or Cardiff where the local council also runs departments like education that in an ordinary town would be run by the county. Think of it basically as a town-sized county. It also means that for example Blackpool technically isn’t part of its county (Lancashire) any more, and has ‘Welcome to Lancashire’ signs as you leave the town boundary. Wikipedia’s entry sums it up: A unitary authority (council) is a type of local authority that has a single tier and is responsible for all local government functions within its area. This is opposed to a two-tier system where local government functions are divided between different authorities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_cou… .
