Session
With over 60% of England now covered by devolution deals and four more non-mayoral agreements on the way, it’s clear that devolution is reshaping local governance. But recent setbacks, like the government’s withdrawal of deals for Norfolk and Suffolk, have left many wondering, are these deals still worth it? More importantly, do they benefit parish and town councils and their communities? This session will dive into the current landscape of devolution, exploring how these deals impact local services, funding, and decision-making. Join us to hear from experts as they unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next in the push for a more empowered and connected England.
