May I ask why the council made this decision?

The "Leave unchanged" option did not achieve a clear majority at any
of the stages of voting – there was a clear majority (3:1) in favour
of a name change by first preferences, and a clear majority in favour
in favour of a name change at the last stage of preference
distribution.

Given that the point of this election was just to narrow down a list
of candidates, not proceeding with such an election seems bizarre.
