Agree final devolution consultation document

29/09/2020 - Agree final devolution consultation document

Each West Yorkshire council and the Combined Authority have considered a paper w/c 18 May 2020 which set out the next stage of devolution implementation. Each paper included draft consultation questions as an appendix for information and comments.

Following these meetings, and the comments received, the following changes have been made:

• The narrative has been updated following feedback to:
o Provide more information regarding the proposals and what devolution will bring to the region.
o Provide further clarity on the functions being consulted on, in line with the scheme.
o Ensure plain English is used.
• An additional section has been added to provide detail and a question relating to the finance functions.
• An ‘about you’ section has been added to enable analysis of respondents.
• A full range of ways to respond and contact details have been included.
The revised consultation documents, which includes these amendments is attached at appendix 1.
