Metro mayors to control railways and housing in 'landmark' devolution plans

The article from MSN discusses the UK government's plan to devolve more powers to metro mayors, focusing on control over railways and housing.

Additionally, the devolution includes greater control over housing, enabling mayors to address local housing shortages more effectively by tailoring development to regional demands.

The plans are part of ongoing discussions and negotiations between the central government and local authorities, with the goal of implementing these changes in the near future.
