Regional mayors across England will be given new powers to boost economic growth and attract investment, British finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Tuesday during a visit to the northern English city of Hull.
Rachel Reeves, Britain's shadow finance minister, has pledged to grant more powers to regional mayors in England if the Labour Party wins the upcoming election. During a speech at the Convention of the North in Leeds, Reeves emphasized the need for economic growth and devolution, criticizing the current government's approach to regional development. She promised that under a Labour government, regional mayors would receive greater control over transport, skills, housing, planning, and energy, aiming to foster local economic growth and reduce regional disparities. Reeves also highlighted the importance of these mayors in driving economic development and ensuring that economic benefits are more evenly distributed across the country.
