<!--meta name="Colno" CONTENT="1930"-->Yvette Cooper:<!----> The concept of a city development company is a flexible one, and it is sensible for places to decide the approach that works best for them. We will want to see efficiency, innovation and delivery aligned with accountability to local government, Regional Development Agency support, and strategic fit with Regional Economic Strategies, the Regional Spatial Strategy and other relevant regional and sub-regional strategies. We will consult on draft guidance for city development companies following the Local Government White Paper.
