❓Wondering why there hasn't been a referendum on devolution? Let's clear that one up for you.... #Devolution

We've seen a claim that Cheshire East has borrowed £5.5m to fund devolution. This is completely untrue. This has nothing to do with devolution. #Devolution #MythBusting

Devolution - heard this one before?? Let's clear that up: Devolution means more local control - not less. Every council keeps running its own services. Joint decisions only happen where it makes sense - like transport and investment. #Devolution

Today, the government has issued Cheshire East Council with a Best Value Notice. Read more about what this means at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_...

Let's tackle another devolution myth... ❓Recognise this one? Let's put that straight. ✅Local identity isn't going anywhere. Devolution strengthens our voice at a regional level, so we can protect what matters to our communities. #Devolution

Heard this one before? 🤔 Let's clear that one up... ✅The whole point of devolution is unlocking long-term funding. That’s how we plan properly—and avoid lurching from one short-term fix to another. #Devolution

Last year, we launched our transformation plan to address a number of complex and interconnected strategic challenges. Recognising the need for change, we have worked hard over the past year to reset, reimagine and reshape as we began to deliver our plan. www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_...

Let's tackle another devolution myth - have you heard this one before?? We'll put that straight for you. ✅Devolution is our chance to argue for fairer funding. Without a deal, we’ll be left bidding for scraps. With one, we help set the priorities.

❓Heard or thought this one before?? ✅Let's clear that up. That's what the consultation was for. Now it's about shaping the deal with government - to get the best result for Cheshire and Warrington. #Devolution

❓Heard this one before? Let's clear that up. ✅ Devolution streamlines regional decision-making. It brings powers and funding under local control—with fewer delays and more local say. #Devolution

Heard this one before?? Let's clear that one up: Most of the North West already has a deal. Waiting doesn't pause the opportunity - it hands it to someone else. www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_... #Devolution

We've submitted our devolution consultation response to government, showing strong support for the benefits of devolution for Cheshire and Warrington. It offers a powerful voice for growth in Cheshire and Warrington, to bring better jobs, transport and investment. www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/home.aspx

Heard this one before? Let’s clear that up: Devolution gives us more control, not less. Cheshire East keeps its powers and only works jointly when it makes sense. #DevolutionMythBusters #Devolution
