Some facts and figures to help make sense of this debate. 1⃣ The county councils where Reform won a majority in 2025 put up council tax by 3.9% on average, compared to 5.0% on average elsewhere.

Key benefit of devolution is joining up policy across local services. To make that a reality mayoral authorities will need access to shared and linked data.
