| | It also seeks to bring about an official change in government terminology to bring it in line with the Local Government Act 1888 — the original piece of legislation which created the modern administrative counties of England and Wales, though there have since been several further changes. | | | The Association of British Counties is a pressure group in the United Kingdom dedicated to preserving the traditional counties of Britain. | | | In particular, it uses scare quotes around the word 'county' when not referring to the traditional counties in order to clarify the meaning of the entity in question. |

| | There is also resentment that the regionalisation policy is based on continental patterns of local government supported by the European Union and ignores the traditional primacy of the county system in England. | | | Historically the primary subdivision of England was into counties, which still exist in modified form. | | | As there are no regional elections, local representatives on regional bodies are nominated by county, unitary authority and borough councils. |

| | Welcome to Lancashire,EnglandGenWeb |
| | The A.B.C. believes that the traditional Counties are a vitally important part of the history, culture and geography of Britain. | | | All of us must have observed that the names of many counties end in 'shire' - e.g. | | | It was in the reign of Henry II that Lancashire became definitely the 'County of Lancaster.' Lancashire then is, strictly speaking, a county and not a shire, and it is one of the youngest of the counties. |

| | The traditional counties have (even if the 1844 changes be accepted) many anomalies, and many small exclaves, where a parcel of land would be politically part of one county despite not being physically connected to the rest of the county. | | | After local government reform in the late 19th century, the traditional counties are no longer in general use for official geographic purposes (in favour of ceremonial counties or administrative counties), but the system in use is partially based on them, and the postal counties often still follow them. | | | Additionally, the administrative counties of Avon, Cleveland and Humberside were abolished, and the traditional borders restored for ceremonial purposes. |
