DCC leader doesn’t know if devolution will force a Mayor on us and, if so, what benefit it will bring – if any

John Hart, Leader DCC on Spotlight this evening saying he has written “six or seven letters” asking the Government if the Heart of the Southwest Local Enterprise Partnership devolution bid must include a Mayor for Devon and Somerset and, if so, “what extra benefits would it bring, if any?”

FOR GOD’S SAKE – SHOULDN’T HE (AND ALL THE OTHER COUNCILS AND THE LEP) HAVE SORTED THIS OUT BEFORE THEY PUT THEIR DEVOLUTION BID IN LAST MONTH!!!!!!

One thought on “DCC leader doesn’t know if devolution will force a Mayor on us and, if so, what benefit it will bring – if any”

  1. I don’t know which is worse:

    1. A government foisting privatisation of local government and the health service on us through stealth – i.e. by keeping secret the whole purpose and process of devolution;

    or

    2. A set of local councillors who are prepared to sign US up to devolution without knowing any of the details of what will happen.

    All I know is that anyone in Devon who voted Conservative in any recent election will end up regretting it.
