The three Cheshire councils have asked the government for a devolution deal and a mayor in May 2026.

A council leader says the government seems "really interested" in devolution for Cheshire.

Cheshire councils say they want to establish a mayoral strategic authority for the region.

With devolution in the pipeline, there have been disagreements over the name for the new authority.

A council should act immediately following the death of 11-year-old Evan Rothwell, campaigners say.

Calls are made for any Cheshire combined authority to only feature the name of the county.

A report was launched earlier this year amid dissatisfaction at the state of provision in Cheshire.

The council says instead of selling the land to Lex Greensill it wants to turn it into woodland.
