The Secretary of State regularly meets with local government and listens to their views on the UK vote to leave the EU. Local government is engaged with government and is contributing to its work to inform future negotiations with the EU.

The UK’s decision to leave the EU is a chance for us to develop opportunities for local communities across England, and local government has a key role in ensuring that we are able to make the most of this opportunity.
