The next steps on the road to devolution in the East Midlands are taking place as detailed proposals about a devolution deal, and what it would mean for our area, are due to be discussed at key council meetings in around two weeks’ time.
 All four councils – Derbyshire County Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Derby City Council and Nottingham City Council – are due to decide whether to formally agree that a public consultation about the devolution deal proposal should go ahead. Derbyshire will consider this at a meeting of Full Council on 2 November.
The devolution deal would provide the region with a guaranteed income stream of £38 million per year over a 30-year period, and would cover around 2.2 million people, making it one of the biggest in the country.
The deal would not mean scrapping or merging local councils, which would all continue to exist as they do now and would still be responsible for most public services in the area. The combined authority would instead focus on wider issues like transport, regeneration, and employment across both cities and counties.

If you've recently reported any anti-social behaviour to Derbyshire police, they want to hear from you.
They’ve launched a survey for any victims of anti-social behaviour who have reported it to them in the past 12 months.
Victims' responses will help the police review their approach in the future and understand how they can further support victims.
Click 'find out more' below to complete the survey.
Victims of anti-social behaviour in Derbyshire can access support from Derbyshire Victim Services.
The Derbyshire ASB Hub also gives further insight into how ASB is tackled by police and partner organisations.
