  • Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors
    Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors What is a combined authority (CA)? A combined authority (CA) is a legal body set up using national legislation that enables a group of two or more councils to collaborate and take collective decisions across council boundaries. It is far more robust than an informal partnership or even a joint committee. The creation of a CA means that member councils can be more ambitious in their joint working and can take advantage of powers and resources devolved to them from national government. While established by Parliament, CAs are locally owned and have to be initiated and supported by the councils involved. 54 (17%) Number of local authorities (excluding the 33 London boroughs) with full membership of a combined authority 22% Percentage of population of England outside London living in a mayoral combined authority area Brief background to devolution and the combined authorities The idea of devolution has excited the imaginations of the political class for a long time even if the public has been less enthusiastic. The turnout rates for the May 2017 Metro Mayor 1 elections attest to this. Devolution was given a big push under New Labour but John Prescott’s North East Devolution Referendum 2004 was decisively rejected by the people (78% of voters were against). The idea was nevertheless pursued by the Coalition. Heseltine’s No Stone Unturned: In pursuit of growth 2012 report made a reasonable case for the concentration of funding streams and for these to be placed under local political control for greater efficiency and flexibility and to maximise effect.

  • Democracy Matters: Lessons from the Citizens' Assembly on English
    Democracy Matters Lessons from the 2015 Citizens’ Assemblies on English Devolution Matthew Flinders | Katie Ghose | Will Jennings | Edward Molloy | Brenton Prosser | Alan Renwick | Graham Smith | Paolo Spada John Penrose MP Minister for Constitutional Reform Cabinet Office Whitehall London SW1 100 Dear John Over the past twelve months the Democracy Matters research team has been conducting a pilot project on the use of citizens’ assemblies to explore complex elements of constitutional policy- making in the United Kingdom. The focus has been on English regional decentralisation, as covered in the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act, and two citizens’ assemblies were convened in the North and South of England. It is with great pleasure that I now submit the final report on this valuable research and engagement project. I hope you and your officials will find its content and recommendations valuable in a number of different ways. Two main conclusions come from the research. First and foremost, there is an appetite amongst the public to engage in informed and constructive discussions about the future of British democracy and about specific policy proposals. The citizens’ assemblies in Southampton and Sheffield have demonstrated that individuals from a range of backgrounds can and are willing to work together to plan a common future and to understand future challenges. Second, the research suggests that the public are generally supportive of the principle of devolution within England. The pinch-point is the nature of the model of devolution on offer from the Government and the lack of public engagement in the decision-making process as it has so far been conducted.
