Healey’s first budget to include big devolution package to boost growth

Chancellor John Healey's first budget will include a significant devolution package aimed at boosting economic growth in England. This move marks a shift in power from central government to local leaders, allowing them to make decisions about spending and investments in their areas. The package includes a new £1.5 billion borrowing facility, which will be developed in collaboration with mayors over the next two years. This devolution of power is expected to give local leaders more control over their economies and potentially lead to increased investment and job creation.

Why it matters

The devolution package is expected to give local leaders in England more autonomy, which could lead to increased investment and growth. This move is seen as a positive step towards decentralization and empowering local communities.
