About Devolution

Devolution is about the transfer of powers and funding from national to local government. It's a process that enables more decisions to be made locally, closer to the residents and businesses affected, to help drive economic growth, innovation, and productivity.

The aim is to create the best possible future for the area's citizens and businesses, improving people’s quality of life and spearheading the UK's economic recovery in the coming years. 

Everyone is encouraged to have their say in Government's consultation on this milestone opportunity for our region.
