🏘️📜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 New amendments to the #English #Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill would give communities and local leaders greater control over their areas, aiming to improve safety, boost culture and strengthen accountability. Proposed powers include action against dangerous pavement parking outside #London, tighter #taxi and private hire licensing enforcement, and the ability to limit clusters of gambling venues on high streets. Communities would have longer—up to 10 years—to protect valued local assets such as pubs, parks and libraries. Mayors would gain formal responsibility for culture and could appoint commissioners to support regional priorities. New Local Scrutiny Committees would increase oversight of mayoral decisions. Backed by funding, including £150m for high streets, the measures are intended to shift decision-making from #Westminster to local areas and support regeneration.

Starmer warned cabinet against ‘overly deferential’ relations with devolved governments

Leak of memo comes after a third of Labour Senedd members raise alarm devolution is being rolled back

Of course London always knows better. To date Wales has been spared much of the meddling with budgets, but Starmer has obviously read the runes for May and is determined to squash self determination there if Plaid hold the Senedd as well. As for NI….

Full text of #Starmer's memo to his #Cabinet about undermining #devolution devolution:
Claire McNabMar 10

Keir #Starmer appears to be trying to destroy the #devolution settlement which his #LabourParty created in 1998.

Welsh journalist #WillHayward has scooped a leaked memo from Starmer to all members of the #UKgov Cabinet. He advocates overriding opposition from devolved government's.
