Where next for devolution? The case for further devolution will be central as the Government focuses on delivering its ‘levelling up’ and ‘build back better’ agendas. The Prime Minister recently set out his vision to ‘Empower strong local leaders by taking a more flexible approach to devolution with new County Deals’, and there have been suggestions from Government that the North is in line for at least three more mayoralties in Cumbria and Yorkshire. More detail is expected to be contained in the highly-anticipated Levelling Up White Paper.

We will see further devolution of power and a shift away from Westminster-centric politics and control. Are you ready?
