⭐️ CAMBRIDGESHIRE & PETERBOROUGH - ESTABLISHED STATUS ⭐️

What on earth does this mean? 🤔

Government confirms that our Mayoral Authority has progressed to established status - which means more power to decide locally what we want to do on skills, regeneration & transport. 💙

The establishment of No 10 North laid the plumbing, but the water wasn't yet flowing. That changes today with this extraordinarily bold move on fiscal devolution. This is the most significant shift in how England is funded in a generation.

Fiscal devolution is the key that unlocks the economic benefits of devolution, spurring on mayors and councils to invest in the transport, housing, and infrastructure that drives growth.

The gap between London and the South East and the rest of England costs the country £30 billion a year, and saps the potential of people and places across the North and the rest of the UK. The chief cause of this is centralisation - England is the most fiscally centralised country in the G7.

For every £1 paid in tax, 96p goes straight to the Treasury. Local leaders know what their places need to drive 'growth in every postcode' - but until now they didn’t have the powers to make it happen.

But fiscal devolution must pass two tests: mayors need the freedom to borrow against future revenues to fund long-term infrastructure, as London did with the Elizabeth line, and some of the proceeds must also be shared with slower-growing places.

@Joe___Allen Wales' CCJs could develop into bodies similar to England's strategic authorities, with powers delegated to them from the Welsh Government.

@Cornish_Stuff Leaders of single local authorities with Foundation Strategic Authority status need to receive invitations to participate in the Mayoral Council For England.

[Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority @CambsPboroCA]

The Combined Authority has been awarded Established Mayoral Strategic Authority status - the highest tier of devolution powers.

It means greater control over the decisions that shape our region's future.
