The government published an agreement on 6 March 2024 for devolution in Warwickshire by giving local leaders more control and influence over the levers of local growth. The agreement transfers new powers and funding to Warwickshire County Council, including devolution of the adult education budget.
This agreement is subject to ratification by Warwickshire County Council, and to the statutory requirements for making the secondary legislation implementing the provisions of the agreement. These statutory requirements include those councils consenting to the legislation and Parliament approving it. Once that legislation is made the agreement will be confirmed.
Avon Dassett featured in an interesting report on Channel 4 News on the policing of hunting, 20 years after the Hunting Act (2004).
The news item broadcast on 4 March 2024 by Alex Thomson highlighted a ‘secret’ protocol between the police and Warwickshire Hunt. In the meantime, it appears hunting continues, in contravention of the Act. Hounds were filmed chasing a fox and entering private property in the village and also impeding traffic (including ambulances) on main roads.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!! 🤗👍
