The article discusses the concept of devolution in England and its evolution over the past decade. Devolution involves the transfer of powers from central government to local authorities. Both major political parties in the UK have shown support for devolution, with the Conservatives aiming to offer devolution deals to all areas by 2030 and Labour proposing a "Take Back Control Bill." The article highlights the challenges of devolution, including the tension between local control and centralization, the role of metro-mayors in driving policy innovation, and the need for a new narrative of accountability. The article concludes by suggesting that future devolution policy may require a shift towards a more strategic approach. [Extracted from the article] |
