'Levelling Up' Enquiry

 

As a member of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee Charlotte interviewed regional mayors regarding the Government’s plans for ‘levelling up' as part of a committee enquiry.

The inquiry is seeking to establish a clear set of criteria for this, to ensure that it is not simply seen as another slogan for the Government to shout with no substantive policy agenda.

Charlotte said:

It’s crucially important that ‘levelling up’ must include increasing local powers for communities like Warrington, with voices like Andy Burnham in recent days showing the importance of leaders being out of the Westminster bubble.

To ensure that we are not ‘levelled down’ by this crisis, we need a Cheshire devolution deal as soon as possible. You can’t level up from Whitehall, only local communities can deliver this agenda.
