Create English regional assemblies (regional governments)

We urge the Government to set up regional governments (e.g. a Midlands assembly, Northern Assembly) and shake up local outdated Council scheme to do this, as we believe more areas outside London would benefit, see growth, have someone closer to home to answer to and more resources and power.

Background

The UK economy is focused around London, and we believe other areas of the England cannot keep up. We believe that if other areas where given assembly-style regional governments and local councils were de-scaled to cost efficient sizes, then regions outside of London would see a boost in economic growth.
