Labour leadership hopeful Andy Burnham has unveiled a 10-year economic plan aiming for a significant power shift from Whitehall to local leaders. His vision prioritizes devolving control over housing, transport, education, and economic development to metro mayors and local authorities. Burnham argues this decentralization is crucial for reversing sluggish growth, tackling regional inequality, and rebuilding public trust, promising “good growth in every postcode”.
