To ask Her Majesty’s Government what role they envisage for town and parish councils in the new devolution deals.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
The Government is engaging with areas across the country to explore how devolution to neighbourhood level can enable more effective co-ordination and tailoring of services and engage communities in delivery and design of services. However, agreeing devolution deals is a bottom-up process - it is up to areas to determine the nature of devolution and the role of town and parish councils, as well as other local groups.
