South East England Regional Assembly (SEERA)
South East Engalnd (Regional) Development Agency (SEEDA).
Today (July 17) John Healey MP Minister of State for Communities and Local Government signalled the end by 2010 for the un-democratically accountable Regional Assemblies to favour Regional Development Agencies (RDA's).... with local authority leaders holding the RDA's to account in the region and approving the regional strategy. Apparently ....to give local authorities greater powers
Sounds like good news for democracy then, well
The plans also include the appointment of a Minister for each of the regions, 'to provide a sense of strategic direction for their region and to give citizens a voice in central government' .. this sounds like more, not less central control to me!
