Devolution: can councils seize the initiative following the levelling up white paper with Amanda Hopgood, Tony Travers and Mike Dearing
Manage episode 327604191 series 3345729
This exciting new episode of The Local Authority podcast explores devolution. Following the publication of the government’s flagship ‘Levelling Up White Paper’, our panel discuss if councils can seize the moment and take the initiative. This requires radical reform, but do councils have the tools to do it?
Joining Nick Golding, editor of Local Government Chronicle to discuss is: Amanda Hopgood, Leader at Durham CC; Tony Travers, Director at LSE London and Mike Dearing, Managing Director International at TPXimpact.
The panel discuss the decisions made at a devolved level – can we be optimistic about the decentralisation of decision making? If funding underpins all decisions, what does a sensible devolved council system look like? Is an elected mayor leader model on the cards at Durham CC?
All this and more on this month’s episode of The Local Authority.
