Today Akash Paun and Matthew Fright at the Institute for Government have released a new report on the future of devolution, which backs our calls for every county to have the option for a devolution deal by 2029, and argues that county and unitary councils should be the building blocks of agreements.

The publication of the English Devolution White Paper has pledged sweeping reforms with proposals aiming to simplify local government structures, reduce duplication and give every region a stronger voice.

Early lessons from the private sector I guess – for whilst the customer (client/community) is not always right they are always important.
