Stratford District Council & Combined Authority update

Stratford-on-Avon District Council has decided not to become a non-constituent member of the West Midlands Combined Authority at the Full Council meeting on Monday 12 October.

Cllr Chris Saint, Leader of Stratford District Council says: “The District Council feels that the risks from the West Midlands Combined Authority outweigh the benefits of becoming a non-constituent member and its future within the Government's devolution programme lies in developing the synergies between itself and neighbouring councils in shire areas. 

“As such The District Council has declined the invitation to become a non-constituent member of the West Midlands Combined Authority and will pursue alternative options, should any materialise, in line with the Council's decision on 1 September."
