The devolution agenda is a core part of UK political discourse. Since 2014 there has been a marked shift in service delivery which sees an ever-changing amount of responsibility being passed to local authorities.
With the introduction of regional mayors and, Police and Crime Commissioners, greater powers are being devolved to local areas. Local Authorities have been given the General Power of Competence, which allows them to undertake any actions which they are not specifically restricted from doing. Devolution is expanding with the Government’s Levelling-Up Strategy committing to deals and long-term funding settlements across England by 2030.
Brevia has supported a range of local authorities, membership organisations, and alliances with a range of services including event management, public affairs training, and campaigning support.

With the Future of Energy Security Summit taking place last week, discussions around energy security and the UK’s future energy mix have featured heavily in the news. In this article, Brevia Energy reviews the latest considerations the Government faces in delivering its nuclear ambition, and how this fits into the Net Zero transition.
The 2025 local elections will be the most unpredictable ever
On 1 May 2025, elections will be held to elect councillors in 24 local authorities, and 6 mayors. With the collapse of the Conservatives and Labour in the polls and the rise of Reform, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party, the electorate has never been more fragmented. As a result, the results of the 2025 Local Elections will be very difficult to predict.
