I joined fellow UK Mayors at Number 10 North to discuss: 🛏️ A visitor levy to reinvest in our places 🎓 More powers to improve skills and education for 16-19 year olds 🚃 Faster delivery of major infrastructure projects More power out of Westminster. More delivery closer to home.

A stronger future relies on achieving good growth in every postcode. By working with the government and business, we'll deliver the jobs and opportunities people are crying out for. Great to welcome Dan Tomlinson to discuss how we unlock growth in West Yorkshire and beyond.

I promised to bring buses back under public control, and we're doing exactly that. Signing the first contracts for services is the next step to improving our public transport. For the first time, operators will run buses on behalf of passengers, to standards set by us.

The biggest transfer of power from Westminster in a generation… Now that’s real devolution.
