Andy Burnham will get full control over his budget as Greater Manchester selected for 'trailblazer' devolution deal
Andy Burnham will have full control over local funding, the government has announced. The Greater Manchester mayor would be given a single budget rather than having to bid for separate pots of cash, the Chancellor said.
The move means that the Greater Manchester Combined Authority would be treated more like a government department. It gives the mayor more power to move money around and spend it according to his own priorities.It comes after months of negotiations over a new devolution deal for the two city-regions which were selected by the government as 'trailblazer' areas.
Mr Hunt also said that Greater Mancehster will continue to keep the business rates councils collect, saying that he has agreed to a 'long-term commitment'. He also said the government will consult on transferring more responsibilities for local economic development to local authorities by April 2024.
The Chancellor also named Greater Manchester as one of 12 Investment Zones across the country which would benefit from £80m to invest in skills, infrastructure, tax relief and business rates reduction. He announced the second round of transport funding worth £8.8bn over the next five years.
