What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Milton Keynes councillors will debate a motion proposed by Councillor Shazna Muzammil on October 21. The motion suggests creating a larger regional mayoral authority in the South Midlands, covering six council areas. This proposal reverses a previous instruction that limited discussions about such an authority to four specific councils.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal aims to secure greater influence over investment, transport, infrastructure, skills, housing, and economic growth across the wider South Midlands region. This change would redefine the economic scope and investment influence of the area.
