Designing and negotiating the Trailblazer Deeper Devolution Deals

Greater Manchester Combined Authority & West Midlands Combined Authority

Metro Dynamics advised through two separate teams the GMCA and WMCA strategy teams at the forefront of deepening devolution with the development of their Trailblazer Devolution Deals announced at Spring Budget 2023.

We worked with officers to support development of policy options including for fiscal devolution, developing the Single Settlement, and Levelling Up Zones and Investment Zones. We worked with Combined Authority policy teams to support refining and finalising proposals and deal text, and negotiating and agreeing deal points across government departments.
