Point awarded for signing or supporting at least 2 open letters or public statements, including those led by other combined authorities or organisations.
A further point will be awarded if the combined authority or its mayor has led at least one open letter or public statement.
We will consider combined authority website announcements and press releases as well as local or national news coverage when marking this question. The same open letter or public statement receiving coverage in several news sites will only be counted once.
