Nick Ireland said the councils had been directed by the government to work on a devolution plan.

Any devolution deal between Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire will not be a merger of councils, a council leader has said.

Dorset signed an expression of interest with Wiltshire and Somerset, to find areas where they could collaborate.The leader's comments came in response to a question at the full council meeting on Thursday from Littlemoor and Preston councillor Louie O’Leary. Last month, the three councils announced they were submitting a request for devolution, calling themselves the "Heart of Wessex", in response to a request from the government to consider devolving control for things like local transport and planning.
