The Government has announced devolution of new powers to England’s largest cities in a series of unique deals that will help them invest in growth, improve local workers’ skills and create jobs, support local businesses, control budgets and improve critical infrastructure. The cities are: Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester. These largest and most economically important English cities outside of London were invited to set out the powers they need to drive local growth in December 2011. In return, the cities have agreed to put in place stronger, more accountable local leadership and to spend their resources more efficiently. The resulting groundbreaking agreements signal a dramatic shift, freeing cities from Whitehall control.
