→City of Milton Keynes: BRD discussion: No, Peterborough City Council ''is'' the Authority, that is the legal basis that allows it to administer its Borough. |

Line 194:
:So the [[City of Milton Keynes]] is just a borough with city status. So it is a non-metropolitan district with borough status (going by my recent reading of [[Non-metropolitan district|that page]]) administered by its seemingly joint non-metropolitan district and unitary authority district council? I do not get this. I will give you for example, [[North Yorkshire (district)]]. In that article, it says that it is a unitary authority, but the council for the unitary authority also is. So I am guessing districts can have unitary authority councils, but unitary authorities themselves also can?

:As of your last paragraph, you will find that sometimes the city and the unitary authority are seperate maybe because the UA covers more then the city. Peterborough City Council administrates the UA, and the city. Because the city is inside the UA, and the city council administrates the UA.

::Yes, your first two sentences are correct. Your conundrum arises only when an article tries to (or has to, for reasons of notability) do two things at once. And I suspect that it is about to get worse, given HMG intention to amalgamate many smaller district councils into larger UAs. North Yorkshire is a district, full stop. It is administered by a Unitary Authority, North Yorkshire District Council. The clue is in the word "authority": a human agency, a council and its officers. A geographical area just ''is'', it can't do anything.
::City of Peterborough (like City of Milton Keynes and City of Carlisle), the geographic area => not a UA, is bigger than the primary settlement. Peterborough City Council ''is'' the Authority, that is the legal basis that allows it to administer its Borough.
::I will now revert your reversion of my edit, citing this discussion. If you continue to disagree, you had best take it to [[WP:WikiProject UK geography]] because it is a generic issue, not one that is peculiar to CoMK. [[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 10:33, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
