Could DevoManc create an economy for the common good?

By Mark Burton Filed Under: Devo, Featured Posted: July 6, 2015

Mark Burton tries to imagine how city-region devolution might help to produce a fairer and more sustainable society. The Greater Manchester devolution deal is firmly rooted in a highly orthodox economic and social model. Other deals, with regions hand-picked by the Treasury, are at various stages of gestation. There is every reason to think they […]

Framing DevoManc

By David Walker Filed Under: Devo, Featured, Westminster Watch Posted: June 17, 2015

Just how good a deal is DevoManc? David Walker expresses scepticism. Here are two ways of framing DevoManc. The first is (somewhat breathless) localist enthusiasm.

In her most recent article, Professor Francesca Gains contends that DevoManc is “an idea whose time has come” and that any opposition “underplays” the combined authority’s years of hard work.
