Written Answers
Combined Authorities
Asked by: Martin Wrigley (Liberal Democrat - Newton Abbot)
Tuesday 30th July 2024

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of amending the governance of non-mayoral combined county authorities to include district councils as constituent members.

Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

Existing combined county authority legislation provides that only upper tier local authorities in the area of a combined county authority can be constituent members. District councils are an important part of local government, and as non-constituent members, can play an active role in any combined county authority in their area, should they wish.

It is important that all local authorities are engaged and actively involved in improving their areas, working across all levels of government for the interests of the local community.
