A public consultation over devolution plans for Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Derby and Derbyshire has begun. It comes after leaders of Derbyshire County Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Derby City Council, and Nottingham City Council all signed up to work on a devolution deal in August this year.
A devolution deal worth £1.14 billion could provide the region with a guaranteed income of £38 million per year over a 30-year period. Now, a public consultation is taking place from Monday November 14 until Monday January 9, 2023 in order that the public can have their say over the plans.
The consultation is open to residents, businesses, community and voluntary groups, and other organisations in the region.
