Devolution

•Why bother??!!

• Gives greater local ‘say’ and ‘ownership’• Local prioritisation• Can remove some of the tiers (and sometime tears!!)

that prevents making things happen• Challenging budget climate putting pressure on

service delivery / standards• Strengthens local partnership working / local

resilience / sense of purpose• Local knowledge of often translates into a better

solution in an area

So what has been achieved so far?

• Close to 40 projects completed (from small scale to larger scale)

• About the same number under development right now

• Some services retained that might otherwise not be offered locally e.g. toilets

• Better relationships (hopefully!!) between councils

• Progress made in relation to Freehold and Leasehold debate…..

• Changing attitude and culture….
