'For too long, Westminster government has tightly gripped control and held back opportunities and potential for towns, cities, and villages'
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has pledged to transfer more powers out of Westminster and into local areas, as part of proposals dubbed the 'devolution revolution'. She said London had, for too long, 'tightly gripped control and held back opportunities' for other areas.
Ms Rayner, the Labour MP for Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside, has written to council leaders, who are not currently subject to a devolution deal, to urge them to 'partner with the Government'.This comes ahead of the King’s Speech on Wednesday, in which mayors and councils are expected to be handed more control over skills, energy, planning and transport, including bus routes and fares.
Sir Keir spoke of being 'bold about pushing power and resource out of Whitehall' and said that 'those with skin in the game know what's best for their communities'. "Last week, with the Prime Minister, I had the pleasure of meeting the metro mayors in England. We discussed how to have a proper, grown-up conversations around economic growth, and how to deliver that through better housing, skills, and jobs for local people.
