The meeting, organised for city councillors to decide on proposals to complete the process for a devolution deal for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, will now take place next week on Tuesday 22 November.

The decision was made to ensure the draft order from government for the deal, which puts funding and powers into the hands of local residents rather than Westminster, can be finalised and councillors given a chance to understand it.

Postponing for one week will allow the draft order to be finalised and fully understood as well as allowing any points of clarification raised with government so that it can be put to councillors for consideration.
