To implement the Deal, and establish a new North of Tyne mayoral combined authority the Councils will need to withdraw from the existing North East Combined Authority (“NECA”). This report updates Cabinet on the public consultation which the North of Tyne Authorities have undertaken in relation to these proposals and seeks Cabinet approval to submit the attached consultation report to the Secretary of State. 1.2 Recommendation(s): It is recommended that Cabinet:- (1) Consider the content of this report and the attached consultation report (Appendix 2); (2) Agree that the North of Tyne Authorities should submit to the Secretary of State; the consultation report and the observations on the consultation report which are set out in sections 1.6 and 1.7 of this report; and (3) Agree that the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Elected Mayor, shall be authorised to take all steps necessary to implement the above proposals, including (but not limited to) finalising the terms of the consultation report which is submitted to the Secretary of State. 1.3 Forward Plan: It has not been practicable to give twenty eight days notice of this report. However, it is required to be considered without the twenty eight day notice being given because of the timescales to which the North of Tyne Authorities are working. 3 1.4 Council Plan and Policy Framework This report relates to the following priority(ies) in the 2016-19 Our North Tyneside Plan Our people, our places, our economy and our partners 1.5 Information: Background 1.5.1 In November 2017, the North of Tyne Authorities agreed a „minded-to‟ Devolution Deal with Government in November 2017 for a significant shift of powers, funding and responsibility. The Deal will enable the North of Tyne Authorities to pursue their ambitious vision for the social and economic prosperity and wellbeing of its communities. Through the deal, an unprecedented devolution of powers will enable the North of Tyne Authorities to take local decisions about the future of the area – focusing investment on local needs to deliver economic and inclusive growth with better opportunities for everyone. The deal provides £600M of additional investment for the North of Tyne area over 30 years to enable locally determined investment in key areas including: infrastructure, housing, skills development, business support, labour market access and education improvement. This investment is set to generate an additional £1.1bn to the local economy, deliver over 10,000 jobs and attract over £2.1bn of private sector investment. 1.5.2 On 11 December 2017, Cabinet considered the outcome of a Governance Review which had been undertaken by the three North of Tyne Authorities as part of the statutory process to take forward the Deal. The Review recommended the required governance changes in order to be able to implement the Deal, subject to the outcome of a public consultation. The governance changes required are for the North of Tyne Authorities to come out of the existing North East Combined Authority and to establish a new mayoral combined authority for the North of Tyne area. A copy of the Cabinet report from that meeting is attached at Appendix 1. 1.5.3 At that meeting Cabinet agreed that the North of Tyne Authorities should progress to the next stage of the statutory process by publishing a Scheme relating to the governance proposals and then undertaking a public consultation exercise. This report sets out the outcome from that consultation exercise. 1.5.4 The public consultation began on 14 December 2017 and closed on 5 February 2018. The next stage of the statutory process is for the North of Tyne Authorities to submit a summary of the consultation responses to the Secretary of State pursuant to sections 110 and 113 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”). The Secretary of State will then consider whether the consultation is sufficient before deciding whether the relevant statutory criteria in the 2009 Act have been met to enable him to make the statutory order (or Orders) to remove the three North of Tyne Authorities from NECA and create the new mayoral combined authority for the North of Tyne area. These criteria are set out in paragraph 1.5.5. 1.5.5 Before making an Order (or Orders) in respect of each proposal (i.e. the amendment of NECA‟s boundaries to remove the North of Tyne Authorities and the creation of a mayoral combined authority for the North of Tyne area), the Secretary of State must consider that to do so is likely to improve the exercise of statutory functions in the area or 4 areas to which the order relates. Furthermore, in making the Order (or Orders), the Secretary of State must have regard to the need: (a) to reflect the identities and interests of local communities, and (b) to secure effective and convenient local government. 1.5.6 A report setting out how the consultation was undertaken and a summary of the responses received is attached at Appendix 2. Subject to Cabinet‟s approval, it is proposed to submit the attached report to the Secretary of State. 1.5.7 A further report will be submitted to Cabinet seeking authority to consent to the making of the Order (or Orders) and following a further report being submitted to Council on receipt of the Order (or Orders) for Council‟s consideration. 1.6 Overview of the consultation process 1.6.1 The consultation report at Appendix 2 sets out in detail how the public consultation exercise was undertaken. In summary, as well as providing information regarding the governance proposals and “minded to” Devolution Deal, the consultation exercise included a survey which was available on-line and in paper format at 140 venues across the NECA region. The survey set out 4 questions regarding key elements of the governance proposals and asked respondents to indicate whether they agreed, disagreed or neither agreed/disagreed. It also provided an opportunity for respondents to set out their reasons if they wished. 1.6.2 In addition to the survey, seven face to face events for members of the public were held across the region (one in each of the seven local authority areas in the NECA region). These events consisted of a presentation about the proposals and the “minded to” Deal, followed by a discussion session which focussed on the questions set out in the survey. A number of sessions were also held for key stakeholders, including Trade Unions, North of Tyne members of both Houses of Parliament, and businesses. 1.6.3 The consultation exercise was very widely publicised throughout the process including in the press and via social media and the level of response was good. In total, 1087 responses to the survey were received (the vast majority of these being provided on- line). 243 people attended the face to face events. 1.6.4 A number of written submissions were also received from a range of key stakeholders, including the business community, voluntary and public sector organisations. Durham County Council, South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council also submitted responses and these are contained in full in the consultation report. 1.7 Overview of consultation outcomes 1.7.1 An overview of the consultation outcomes is set out below with the full detail contained in the report at Appendix 2. 1.7.2 The majority of responses from residents, businesses, voluntary sector organisations and other key stakeholder groups have been positive and in agreement with the proposed governance changes as set out in the consultation survey. In addition, in their comments, they have expressed support for the overall aims and objectives of the “mined to” devolution deal. 5 The majority of responses

  • What Was the Political Difference Made by the Introduction of Executive Mayors in England?
    WHAT WAS THE POLITICAL DIFFERENCE MADE BY THE INTRODUCTION OF EXECUTIVE MAYORS IN ENGLAND? By Douglas Campbell A thesis submitted to the School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Local Government Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham November 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The creation of eleven directly elected mayors in England between 2002 and 2005, as part of the Labour Government©s wider local government reform, altered local governance in those localities. The 1998 White Paper Modern Local Government identified three key weaknesses in the previous local government system: a lack of leadership, legitimacy and accountability. The main question the thesis sought to answer was: what was the political difference made by the introduction of executive mayors in England.? The key issue in this study was to assess if executive mayors have improved the efficiency, the transparency or the accountability of local government The investigation of the executive mayoral option employed an analytical framework to measure change on three dimensions of efficiency, transparency and accountability.
