Local authorities in Cheshire and Warrington have made some ‘positive’ steps along the road to devolution.
Representatives from Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester and Warrington councils met this week with the Minister for Local Government and English Devolution, Jim McMahon, to open discussions about a devolution agreement for the region.
In a joint statement, the council leaders described the meeting as ‘positive’.
‘Our three councils have been working successfully together for many years with a shared vision to be the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive and growing economy in the UK. The right devolution agreement could allow us to build on this great work.’
