I'm afraid this is a dreadful idea - surely a recipe for huge delay and protracted battles over even the smallest decisions. London is already an outlier compared to other mega cities (as you point out) in terms of restricted executive power. See the example of Oxford St pedestrianisation where the presence of one or two marginal wards in a tight council end up forcing delay to progressive urban upgrade - imagine if every council has a veto power. We would have never had ULEZ and I'd still be slowly contracting lung cancer (even faster) on my cycle to work..!

So London Councils want to return to pork barrel politics and scrap ULEZ (an example of “better” decision making in Manchester)?
