This interactive forum will bring together key stakeholders – including local government leaders, policy experts, community advocates, and academics – to explore the opportunities and challenges of devolved governance in the region.Panel members include:
- Zoe Billingham, Public Policy Research (IPPR) North Director

Audience members will play an active role, posing questions directly to the panel and shaping the conversation around devolved policy areas and democratic accountability.
With guided discussions, the event promises rigorous analysis, diverse perspectives, and meaningful engagement. Whether you're a student, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this is your chance to be part of the conversation on how Lancashire can shape its own future. Expect thoughtful insights and a collaborative spirit that can drive regional change forward.
Refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to welcoming you.
