Public consultation
The public consultation on devolution proposals for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Derby, and Nottingham is closing on 9 January 2023.
The consultation is asking for the views of everyone in the area on devolution plans, which would bring in more funding to our region - £1.14 billion – as well as powers to improve transport, adults skills training, housing, the environment. Devolution proposals would also mean we could take action to improve our local economy to encourage the creation of good quality jobs that give people a decent standard of living and a better quality of life.
Devolution is a chance for everyone in our region to have a much greater say over issues that affect them, including by directly electing our first regional mayor, so more decisions about our area are made in our area.
