What is devolution?
In England, Devolution refers to the transfer of powers, functions, responsibilities, assets and budgets from central Government and agencies of Central Government through to Local Councils and groups of local Councils in the shape of “Combined Authorities”.
What we plan to do
Six priorities are at the heart of the North Midlands devolution deal to create a better future for the area; housing, jobs and skills, transport, maximising national and international investment and a value for money public sector.
Who we are
19 local authorities across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, together with business leaders from the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, are seeking to create a single Combined Authority for the region by March 2016 - the first bid in a two tier Authority.
