  • Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said regional mayors will be handed more powers over housing, transport, education and employment under major devolution plans

The article from the Mirror discusses the expansion of mayoral powers across England, highlighting that every region will soon have a mayor with significant authority over local governance. This initiative aims to decentralize power from Westminster, giving local leaders more control over issues like transport, housing, and economic development. The piece mentions that cities like Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham already have mayors, and now regions like the East Midlands, North East, and York and North Yorkshire are set to follow suit. This move is part of a broader devolution agenda, with the government investing in these regions to foster local decision-making and economic growth. The article also touches on the political implications, noting that while some regions are enthusiastic, others are more skeptical about the benefits of having a mayor.
