  • PRESS RELEASE IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mayors Lead the Way On
    PRESS RELEASE IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mayors lead the way on fixing Northern transport Northern Metro Mayors Andy Burnham, Tracy Brabin, Steve Rotheram, Jamie Driscoll and Dan Jarvis have joined forces to stand up for passengers and set out their vision for transport in the North. The Northern Transport Summit brought together business and political leaders from across the region to shape future plans to build a safe, efficient, clean, sustainable and accessible transport system which will form the foundations to rebuild the North’s full economic potential. Experts rallied for investment in infrastructure and putting connectivity at the heart of the levelling up agenda. Including calls to build back better transport to reduce the inequalities between passengers in the North and South and improve access to job opportunities across the region. There was also a focus on accelerating a green recovery from the pandemic and investing in decarbonisation of road and air travel. From improving buses to getting more commuters on bikes, experts discussed how to rebuild confidence in public transport and make it the green, clean and affordable option for both work and leisure journeys. Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, said: “We know that fully-integrated and accessible transport networks are the foundation for social and economic prosperity. That’s why I recently announced a transport revolution to deliver for the people of Greater Manchester. “Affordable and reliable journeys, including daily caps where a single bus journey from Harpurhey in Greater Manchester should cost the same as one in Haringey, London. People should be able to move seamlessly across the city-region on buses, trams and trains with bike hire schemes and walking and cycling corridors.

  • NORTHERN MAYORS 100 Days of a New Term
    Institute for Public Policy Research NORTHERN MAYORS 100 days of a new term Marcus Johns August 2021 SUMMARY 6th May 2021 marked the beginning of a new era for the north of England’s metro mayors. It saw some of the inaugural cohort (first elected in 2017) re- elected, and a new Mayor of West Yorkshire—the first woman metro mayor. Mayoral combined authorities in the North now cover 9.7 million people and over 60 per cent of our region’s economy. These mayors wield significant powers and resources: northern mayoral combined authorities collectively plan to spend nearly £4.4 billion in 2021/22 according to IPPR North analysis of 2021/22 approved budgets. Northern mayors increasingly reach beyond formal powers to improve the lives of the people that they represent. A review of recent mayoral manifestos and announcements shows that mayors are seeking to deliver on ambitious local visions, breaking free of the constraints of the original conception of the mayoral role. However, their powers remain vulnerable to the whims of a centralising government that, despite rhetoric, appears to blow hot and cold on devolution. Now, as we enter this new era, government must recommit to devolution as the means to deliver levelling up. It is time to give mayors and the places they represent the backing they need to level up for themselves. MAYORS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN PEOPLE THINK 100 days ago, the UK held one of the largest sets of local and devolved elections in its history. In the North, this included the second metro mayoral elections in Greater Manchester (GMCA), Liverpool City Region (LCRCA), and Tees Valley (TVCA), where incumbent mayors secured increased majorities; and the first mayoral election for the new West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA).
