ENGLISH DEVOLUTION WHITE PAPER
This report outlines the opportunities arising from the English Devolution White Paper published on 16 December 2024, and the requirements on Surrey County Council set out in a letter sent to the Leader of the Council from the Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution on the same day (see Annex 1).
The Council is asked to note that the Leader intends to respond to the Minister expressing the council's interest in pursuing a joint programme of devolution and local government reorganisation (Annex 2), and that acceptance onto the government’s programme to deliver both reorganisation and devolution to the most ambitious timeframe may lead to the postponement of the 2025 county council elections. Council is also asked to note that the decision to respond to the letter of 16 December 2024 is an Executive function. Additional documents: |
