Council leaders across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent have written to the Government to begin a conversation about devolution.

The Staffordshire Leaders Board, 10 council leaders representing the county council, city council and eight district and borough councils, are exploring how the devolution of new powers could help boost the local economy and living standards.

Leader of Staffordshire County Council and chair of Staffordshire Leaders Board, Cllr Alan White, said: ‘This is about creating more jobs and opportunities, better transport, breathing new life into our cities, towns and villages and ensuring good homes are available for people who need them.

‘As a Board, we’ve been working together for the benefit of our residents and businesses for years and a conversation with Government around the opportunities that devolution may bring is an extension to this commitment.’
