What great news it was to hear on the eve of the Labour conference, more devolved powers being extended across England.
The potential of towns and cities in England has been held back by the Conservatives for far too long.
Indeed, for fourteen years, we have seen some cities fall into decay with crime and deprivation.
So as Labour drive forward devolution, I once again look forward to change under Angela Rayner and Sir Keir Starmer.
A real change that will boost growth and give those with skin in the game power over decisions in their local area.
