LEA's had their authority over academies removed by the government..Which was a mistake because they were the best resource for keeping control over education in each county.

Academy schools are state-funded schools in England which are directly funded by the Department for Education and independent of local authority control

These academies also got their hands on the land,buildings and resources without ever paying back the taxpayers who provided the funds in the first place.
