Prosperous communities II: vive la dévolution!

Prosperous communities II: vive la dévolution! sets out the LGA’s evidence base for the need for devolution of powers to local councils and some concrete proposals for making it happen. Each place, city, town and shire is different. All have their own unique challenges. All require local solutions. The LGA has long championed the devolutionary cause by instinct and belief; the economic analysis in this new publication now enables us also to do so on the evidence; and the thirty-four detailed devolutionary proposals in the document give a clear focus for future debate with the government about exactly what it needs to do to make it happen.
