Unitary Authorities Of England
The unitary authorities of England are those local authorities which are responsible for the provision of all local government services within a district. They are constituted under the Local Government Act 1992, which amended the Local Government Act 1972 to allow the existence of counties that do not have multiple districts.

Independent Network
The Independent Network (IN) is a United Kingdom-based non-profit organisation supporting independent politicians and political candidates. Founded in 2005, the IN consists of supporters and volunteers who advocate non-partisan politics. Former independent MPs Martin Bell and Richard Taylor have been involved.

The IN does not impose any political views on the individuals it supports. However, they must be non-discriminatory and adhere to a code of conduct proposed by Bell and endorsed by the IN executive committee.
