Combined county authorities – Are they really different?
01 February 2023
Join Partners Laura Hughes, Peter Ware and Tim Edds as they discuss whether the new model of combined county authorities are significantly different to the existing model of county authorities.
In this webinar the public law experts cover:
- What are Combined County Authorities?
- The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill provisions
- Points of difference
- Moving towards a 'standard' devolution deal?
We were also delighted to be joined by Helen Barrington, Director of Legal and Democratic Services and Monitoring Officer at Derbyshire County Council who provided some reflections from the perspective of a Monitoring Officer.
