  • The prospect of a deal for Cheshire and Warrington appeared to stall for a number of years - but the issue has been progressing at pace in recent months

The article discusses the potential establishment of an elected mayor for Cheshire and Warrington by 2026, as part of a broader devolution deal. This initiative aims to enhance local governance and economic development in the region. The proposal includes the creation of a combined authority for Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, and Warrington, which would be led by this new mayor. The mayor would have significant powers over areas like transport, housing, and skills training, aiming to drive economic growth and improve public services. The move is part of the UK government's strategy to devolve more power from Westminster to local regions, fostering local decision-making and potentially attracting more investment. However, the plan requires local consent through public consultation and agreement among the local councils involved.
