Devolve more powers from Westminster to local government
Do you believe more powers should be devolved from central parliament to local government?
Conservative David Cameron has said he would like to see more money devolved to UK regions http://www.theguardian.com/public-leaders-network/2014/jul/10/labour-conservatives-powers-councils-devolution
DUP Press ahead rapidly with the reconfiguration of local government and transferring of extra powers from central Departments.
Green Party The Central Parliament needs to be prepared to surrender many of its traditional powers, and actively assist in the process of decentralisation. To this end, Parliament has a number of key roles to play - first, to devolve functions to more local bodies;
Labour We will pass an English Devolution Act, handing £30 billion of resources, and powers over skills, transport and economic development to city and county regions.
Liberal Democrat A new wave of devolution to the nations of the UK and 'Devolution on Demand' to transfer more power and control to local areas.
Plaid Cymru We oppose the micro management of local councils by central government and are committed to ensuring that local councils have the freedom and funding to respond appropriately to local issues.
