Leicestershire CC has hit out at the new £1.14bn devolution deal for parts of the East Midlands for not including the county and Leicester.

A landmark £1.14bn devolution deal for a new combined county authority (CCA) in the East Midlands was agreed last month. The CCA will cover Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Derby, and Nottingham – also known as the D2N2 area.
