Rayner pledges to start devolution revolution
Deputy prime minister Angela Rayner is set to pledge to kickstart a devolution revolution with the aim of transferring more powers out of Westminster into the hands of local people.
In a letter to local leaders, she will urge regions without devolved power to “partner with the government to deliver the most ambitious programme of devolution this country has ever seen”.
The letter will invite local leaders in devolution deserts to work together to take on powers in areas like transport, adult education and skills, housing and planning, and employment support.
It is hoped the agreements will mean local leaders can make decisions that benefit their communities better, while boosting economic growth and opportunity.
In the letter, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said: "For too long, Westminster government has tightly gripped control and held back opportunities and potential for towns, cities, and villages across the country.
"Last week, with the Prime Minister, I had the pleasure of meeting the metro Mayors in England. We discussed how to have a proper, grown up conversations around economic growth, and how to deliver that through better housing, skills, and jobs for local people.
"I want to work with more places to help them use these enhanced powers and role - because I want to drive growth in every part of the country. For any area considering it, now is the time to take the plunge and speak to us about how we can work with you to transform your regions."
