NALC Resources on Devolution

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has updated its resources on devolution and local government organisations on its website.

The devolution resource provides an in-depth overview of devolution, focusing on how decision-making powers are transferred from central government to local authorities. It explains different levels of devolution and emphasises the need to extend these powers to parish and town councils.

NALC’s local government reorganisation resource outlines the government's plans to create a more efficient and financially sustainable system. It explains different types of reorganisation, such as the creation of unitary councils, mayoral combined authorities, and new parish and town councils. The resource also highlights the importance of ensuring parish and town councils have a voice in governance reviews as these changes occur.
