21 February 2025As part of its commitment to widen devolution, the government has launched consultations in six areas on proposals to establish mayoral combined (county) authorities.
The government is seeking views from interested parties, such as local residents, businesses, and public sector bodies within Cumbria, Cheshire and Warrington, Norfolk and Suffolk, Greater Essex, Sussex and Brighton, and Hampshire and the Solent – areas that joined the Devolution Priority Programme earlier this month.
The consultations will consider questions such as the proposed geographies and how the mayoral combined (county) authorities will operate.
All consultations are open until 13 April 2025.
