Devolution 
last updated 9.1.25

In preparation the SALC team have:

  • met with Somerset ALC with a view to learning lessons from their approach as a county association due to meet with Cornwall ALC and Cumbria ALC shortly

  • invited a town council in a unitary authority to talk at a SALC larger council forum and share experiences 

  • establishing ways to assess impact depending on proposals that emerge - this will involve data collection and a call from us to our members for information
