The public will soon be able to have a say on the East Midlands devolution deal
Nottinghamshire County Council's leader says that Rishi Sunak is a "big believer" in East Midlands devolution, and that recent instability in Downing Street does not threaten it. The agreement covering Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire councils was first signed on August 30, when Boris Johnson was still Prime Minister.
It comes as all four councils involved in the deal, Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council, Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council, are due to discuss the devolution deal at meetings over the next few weeks. A public consultation will then take place until January. In terms of the next stages of the deal, the upcoming council meetings will allow councillors to discuss it and for it to be ratified by them. Following the end of the public consultation on January 9, preparations for setting up the new East Midlands CCA will then start next April.
"The reason I'd like us to have... a mayor for the region is the opportunity it presents to do things and change things and deliver things on transport, on skills, on opportunities for people who live here. That makes it potentially a really exciting role. But as I've said, a week is a long time in politics and lord knows where we'll be in a year or 18 months time when those conversations are happening about who that mayor should be.
