Futures Forum: Devolution deals 'mixed and inconclusive'
Futures Forum: Dithering over devolution in the SouthWest >>> "The name Great South West is a working title at present and may alter as the intiative gains momentum in order to be appropriate and resonate with all parties. This is not a brand used by the West of England LEP for their local authority areas."
There is increasing panic about the direction of whatever it is:
Publish progress report on devolution now, LGA tells government
Mark Smulian 6 Sep 17
The Local Government Association has called on the government to urgently release its annual devolution report amid fears the process has stalled across the country.
The umbrella-group’s plea, released on Monday, marks two years since the government set a deadline for local areas to submit devolution proposals. Around 34 proposals – from cities, towns and counties across England – have been submitted.
The LGA argues that billions of pounds worth of economic growth and hundreds of thousands of new jobs and homes risk being lost as a result of the so-called “devolution deadlock”. Mark Hawthorne, chairman of the LGA’s People and Places Board, said councils wanted to use greater powers to build more homes, secure the infrastructure essential for economic growth, improve roads, close skill gaps and increase access to fast broadband but feared opportunities were being missed because devolution has “stalled”.

'Devolution deadlock' putting economic growth across England at risk
“To reignite the devolution process, the Government needs to engage in a debate about appropriate governance arrangements with local areas."
Devolution 04 Sep 2017
Opportunities for billions of pounds worth of economic growth and hundreds of thousands of new jobs and homes risk being lost as a result of “devolution deadlock” across the country.
Today (4 September) marks two years since the Government deadline for local areas to submit devolution proposals. Around 34 ambitious proposals – from cities, towns and counties across England - were submitted.
The Local Government Association is concerned that devolution progress has since “stalled” with no new deals announced for 18 months, despite many areas being keen to press forward with negotiations.
Councils want to see their communities access the full opportunities currently available to areas where devolution has taken place and ensure all parts of the country reap the benefits of having greater powers and funding to improve services such as skills, housing, transport and health and social care.
