The reason why we decided to have devolved units of governance was to take resources and equalisation to the people in this country. It is a wrong assumption that counties were created following climatic conditions. We have counties in this country that normally experience hybrid climatic conditions. They have some areas that have very good climatic conditions and the same counties have other areas that are disadvantaged in terms of climatic conditions. Some are so badly hit that you may not even think they are in the same county.
