Culture Commons Director @TrevorMacF asks
“We often forget that devolution has a cultural component linked to identity & pride. How might devolution/increased local decision making interact w/ the #creative & #cultural life of different kinds of communities?"
@instituteforgov

Good to be @instituteforgov’s panel on ‘how can #devolution contribute to regional growth in England’
South Yorkshire Mayor @olivercoppard, @JimfromOldham and Sebastian Payne @ukonward discussing increased local decision making
Very relevant to culturecommons.uk/futureoflc…
