Devolution for Cheshire and Warrington

Cheshire and Warrington Combined Authority is now officially established. Residents will elect their first Mayor in May 2027 and through the transfer of key transport, economy and skills powers from Whitehall, the Combined Authority will unlock at least £650 million in funding over the next 30 years.

As the Combined Authority is set up over the next 12 months, it aims to attract investment, create better jobs, and improve public transport, transforming the area into the UK's healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive and fastest-growing economy by 2045.

Becoming a Combined Authority means Cheshire and Warrington now sits alongside neighbouring northern regions to build on the opportunities devolution presents – giving Cheshire and Warrington a seat at the table on northern, national and international platforms.
