Local Councils/Regional Councils

Local Councils/Regional Councils

I suggest that a new government enacts a law which further dissolves power from the central government to local councils or perhaps newly established regional councils (whereby a number of local councils are grouped). This proposal would help ensure a steady flow of stable development for each region without a constant approval/interference from central government. I am encouraging a new PN government to consider giving local councils more power or even establish new regional legislative bodies.

Points

Yes. The power structures in this country are too centralized. Local councils sgould have much more autonomy e.g. the UK Localism Act 2012. This would enpower local councils to engage with their licalities and provide what is needed rather than what is budgeted for.
