Reasons
77.3 The establishment of a Mayoral Combined County Authority could lead to significant benefits for the area, attracting investment and ensuring a strategic approach across a significant geography to ensure a joined-up approach in relation to areas including environment and climate change, transport, infrastructure, skills, economic development and strategic planning. There are still details that need clarification which are raised in the draft consultation response and will also be raised as discussions progress, should approval be given by the Government to establish the Authority, and prior to the Council giving its approval to the Statutory Order that will be required.
