Employment, education and skills, will be key priorities for the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority as this week saw Devon County Council reach an important milestone on the journey towards creating a new Combined County Authority.
The Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority Regulations 2024, a ‘statutory instrument’, has been laid in Parliament, paving the way towards the creation of the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority.
The Regulations will be debated in the House of Commons and the House of Lords. When they are signed by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Angela Rayner MP, under powers delegated by the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023, the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority (CCA) will come into being.
The CCA will make decisions about the powers and funding devolved from Whitehall to Devon and Torbay through the deal that was agreed in January this year.
