£1 Billion Devolution Deal for Norfolk Secured
Norfolk is set to receive £1 billion as part of a devolution deal that will also see an elected mayor preside over the county and neighbouring Suffolk.
Following a crunch vote, County Hall has accepted the Labour government’s proposals to transfer powers to the two counties. The deal would give powers for issues such as transport, housing, jobs and adult education from Whitehall to Norfolk and Suffolk, along with a 30-year multi-million pound investment fund.
- Transfer of powers for transport, housing, jobs and adult education
- 30-year multi-million pound investment fund
- Elected mayor to preside over Norfolk and Suffolk
The deal follows a failure to secure a previous deal in 2016 and Suffolk County Council has already agreed to back the deal earlier this month. Elections to decide who would head up a new combined authority will be held next May.
