Council Leaders across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent have written to the Government to begin a conversation about devolution and how it could benefit the area.

The Staffordshire Leaders Board - including Tony Johnson from Cannock Chase District Council (pictured) and nine fellow authority leaders representing the county council, city council and district and borough councils - have set out their commitment to explore how a transfer of powers and investment from Whitehall could boost the local economy and living standards.

Cannock Chase Council has today launched its latest review of polling districts, polling places and polling stations used for Parliamentary and local elections and is seeking views from residents on any suggested changes they may have.
