Local Government Association Brexit Sounding Board

On Friday 22nd September, The Centre for European Studies (CEFEUS) carried out a presentation to the Local Government Association Brexit Sounding Board.

Based on the July 2017 report, 'Kent and Medway: Making a success of Brexit', the meeting provided us with the chance to examine the opportunities and challenges that exist within both crucial sectors before concluding with a set of asks for a variety of stakeholders. It also provided an opportunity for other local government associations to ask questions about the Brexit process and the impact it could have on their area. Finally, it proved insightful for all involved to understand the sheer scale of some of the transfer of powers, and the potential opportunities that exists for devolvement.
