Minutes:
Councillor Bowyer (Leader) proposed and Councillor Evans seconded the recommendations in the report for a Devolution Deal for the Heart of the South West. Following a vote, Council agreed to:
1. Endorse the current approach to devolution and agree to sign up to the principle of creating a Combined Authority for the Heart of the South West, as set out in the Prospectus for Productivity, as the basis for negotiation with Government towards a Devolution Deal for the area.
2. Note that giving this endorsement does not commit the Council to entering into a Devolution Deal, or becoming a member of a Heart of the South West Combined Authority. This would be subject to future debate and agreement by the Council and subject to negotiations with Government.
