韦斯特莫兰和福内斯议会支持建立坎布里亚市长联合管理局 (MCA) 的计划,支持对交通,技能和经济发展的权力下放. Westmorland and Furness Council has backed plans to create a Cumbria Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA), supporting devolution of powers over transport, skills, and economic development. 这项行动在10月14日最后批准之前,旨在将坎布里亚与大曼彻斯特和提斯河谷等其他英语地区统一起来。 The move, pending final approval on October 14, aims to align Cumbria with other English regions like Greater Manchester and Tees Valley. 虽然一些议员对民主进程和执行风险表示关切,但多数议员一致认为,必须征得同意,才能避免政府可能实行权力下放。 While some councillors raised concerns about democratic process and implementation risks, most agreed that consent is necessary to avoid potential government-imposed devolution. MCA将增加一个区域一级政府,由选举产生市长,在国家决策中发挥更大的影响力,并为增长和基础设施获得新的资金。 The MCA would add a regional tier of government with an elected mayor, offering greater influence in national decision-making and access to new funding for growth and infrastructure.
