“In a lengthy article in the Manchester Evening News, the prime minister said she was “absolutely committed” to devolving powers away from Westminster.
She said: “I don’t want to see our country dependent on one city any more. I want to get all of our great cities firing on all cylinders to rebalance our economy.”
Right – according to this model, ditch the LEP and have two “economic powerhouses” based on Plymouth and Exeter! (It is already happening secretly behind the usual closed doors – more on that soon).
Somerset? It doesn’t have a city, so let their city be Hinkley C!
