Conservative Izzi Seccombe approved a decision to express interest in merging councils.

Warwickshire and five district and borough councils would be abolished to form a unitary authority.

It would result in county council elections in May being delayed by a year .

Warwick District Council's opposition leader said such decisions should not be taken in the "clear self-interest of any political party".
