What Next
Devolution Deal – Next Steps
- The devolution deal has now been approved by the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority and all nine members
- As part of the process, two non-constituent members have signalled their intention to join the Combined Authority. These members are Chesterfield and Bassetlaw Councils
- The Devolution Deal will now be formalised in what is called a “Scheme” which will set out how a new Mayoral Combined Authority will work and how the Mayor’s powers will operate
- Formal consultation on the Scheme will take place from 27 June 2016
- The Scheme and the consultation results will then go to the Secretary of State for approval
- The Scheme will then go through Parliament and complete this process by the end of 2016
- Mayoral Elections will then take place in May 2017
