Liverpool City Region and The West Midlands have become the latest areas to form devolved regions.
Liverpool City Deal- DCLG writes:
Liverpool has become the latest city region to sign up to George Osborne’s devolution revolution, with local authority leaders set to sign a historic new deal today (17 November).
The agreement is another massive boost to the Northern Powerhouse with Liverpool City Region becoming the fifth major northern city region to sign up to a deal which will give its local leaders sweeping new powers. This follows recent deals signed with local leaders in Greater Manchester; Sheffield City Region, the North East and Tees Valley. A deal is also set to be signed today with the West Midlands – the first region outside of the Northern Powerhouse to do so.
