Original Note:
The Government is not "cancelling elections", the local authorities themselves are asking to have them delayed because of incoming changes to how they are organised. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgrg989j9jo.amp There is precedent for this. For example Buckinghamshire cancelled elections in 2019 for the same reason. https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/17213481.bucks-super-council-2019-district-elections-branded-nonsense-following-green-light-for-unitary-authority/
