Burnham's Bold Plan for Northern Growth

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Andy Burnham is firing up the north’s ambition, proposing a bold plan to revive HS2’s northern leg and bring vital services like water and energy back under public control — arguing that privatization has left everyday people paying the price while profits soar. 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.
