Cornwall Council commits to the principles of Localism and Devolution
Cornwall Council is committed to delivering double devolution:
- transferring powers from London to Cornwall
- devolving services and assets to local communities and citizens
Devolution - to Cornwall
Cornwall is the first rural authority to agree a Devolution Deal with the Government. The Cornwall Devolution Deal outlines the powers that will be devolved to Cornwall. These include:
- transport
- energy
- health and social care
- heritage
Devolution - within Cornwall
Cornwall Council is devolving services and assets within Cornwall. This work will empower local councils, groups and organisations.
