Strong cities, strategic regions
The challenges of the global economy and of sustainable growth require greater power and resources to be devolved to regional and local levels.
Building on recent progress, many of our towns and cities have come forward with proposals that would help promote their further economic development. We will continue to work closely with these local authorities - whether in city-regions or elsewhere - and with those that are interested in developing Multi-Area Agreements which cross local authority boundaries.
The Government will encourage stronger leadership models, including directly elected executives and indirectly or directly elected mayors where such arrangements are supported locally, as we believe that the greater the powers being devolved, the greater the premium on clear, transparent and accountable leadership.
