Following the LGA 1963, Surrey County Council has spent the last 45
years failing to deal with the absurdity of having their
administrative centre outside the county.

Does it matter that much, that the administrative centre is a mile
outside[1] the county (rather than a mile inside[2], which would
apparently offend people less)?

[1] 1.1 miles according to Google Maps.

[2] Cheshire (West) County Hall is less than a mile from the Welsh
border.
