Take control of the Powerhouse

The future of the Northern Powerhouse does not rely on central government alone and councils must build momentum behind the agenda, says Ed Cox

When Theresa May took charge of the Tories, many suspected the Northern Powerhouse bandwagon would be abandoned.

They couldn't have been more wrong. In Andrew Percy, May retained the minister for the Northern Powerhouse role, if not the role holder, and the PM herself this month backed the concept in a Yorkshire Post comment piece. So far, so steady.
