Sleaford, NKDC, LCC and Devolution of Powers to English Regions!

Well at least the Scottish Referendum, and the quick moves to devolve more Powers to Scotland (these concessions must have been drafted before the final result was known surely) seems to have woken up England -at last. The Observer has an article on it today (30 November 2014).

Now the trouble, as usual, is the key question "will it affect the parts we want it to affect" or just give more power to those whose powers we actually want, and need,  to minimise?   I am still trying to work out where localism fits into the scheme of things in Sleaford and what happened to Neighbourhood Plans. If all we end up with is another layer of Bureacracy then heaven help us.

So in principal "yes" but there is a lot of detail to be sorted out.
