Petition Hold regional referendums on local government and devolution changes
The Government has announced plans to devolve powers & merge some councils, which they claim will allow for better funding. We call for regional referendums to be held in areas that will be affected, so the British people can vote on these fundamental changes rather than forcing it on us.
More details
We believe this is a diverse important matter. In the same way that Brexit was decided via a referendum in 2016, we believe the Government’s plans should be voted on via referendum and by the people it’ll affect, rather than those who are making these changes.
