Number 10 North Moves to Manchester | Manchester News

Number 10 North is officially launching in Manchester, marking a historic shift as the UK’s government decentralizes power and brings decision-making closer to the people. Andy Burnham’s vision, now realized after his election win, is driving this move with Louise Haigh at the helm as head of the new Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Civil servants are being incentivized to relocate north, while the temporary HQ at Heron House—near Albert Square and previously used by GCHQ—signals a bold new chapter. The permanent base will be at the Government Digital Campus in Ancoats, set to open in 2032, with 300 staff expected to be hired within 18 months. This initiative not only reshapes government operations but also aims to spread opportunity nationwide, integrating Burnham’s regional team and revitalizing Manchester as a political and economic hub.
