Closed Reject the plan to devolve powers to a Metro Mayor for The West of England.

Closed on

The Chancellor of The Exchequer announced on March 16th a scheme to devolve powers to a Metro Mayor in Bristol, Bath and surrounding areas. Given that B&NES rejected an elected Mayoral model one week earlier, this new announcement seems to be at variance with the electorate's preferences.
