Business leaders in Cornwall have backed plans for the region to secure maximum devolution powers available from talks with the Government.
Cornwall is among a first wave of areas that have been invited to bid for proposed sub-national devolution deals, announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in July 2021 as part of the Government’s ‘Levelling Up’ agenda.
The board of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has unanimously agreed to support Cornwall Council in negotiating a ‘Tier 3’ County Deal.
