Burnham's Bold Plan for Northern Growth
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

He’s eyeing a smart funding model inspired by Crossrail, tapping land value increases to pay for infrastructure, and insists a more devolved, people-first government is the only way to unlock true national growth.
