Multi-area agreement
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Sidebar/configuration' not found. A multi-area agreement (MAA) was an English political framework that aimed to encourage cross boundary partnership working at the regional and sub-regional levels.[1] They were defined by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) as voluntary agreements between two or more top tier (county councils or metropolitan district councils) or unitary local authorities, their partners and the government to work collectively to improve local economic prosperity.[2]
There were 15 signed off multi-area agreements in England:[3][4] However, these were folded into the new Local Enterprise Partnerships created by the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government and were finally repealed under the Deregulation Act 2015.[5]
