This week, @AndyBurnhamGM and @LCRMayor were in parliament, making the case for infrastructure investment in the North.

Alongside MPs, they presented their vision for the Northern Arc, which could unlock a £90bn boost for the UK economy.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Today @MetroMayorSteve and I will present stunning new evidence to Parliament of how we’re starting to close the North-South divide.

But we have a plan to go much further.

The “Northern Arc” - a growth corridor supported by a new rail line - is the game-changer the UK needs.👍🏻

Saturday night’s alright for… pointing yourself out on the EFL highlights

Andy Burnham calls for a 'new deal' for the North, urging the government to invest in housing and big transport projects, or else risk treating Northerners like 'second class citizens' @MENnewsdesk

10-year plan for six 'growth locations' across all 10 Greater Manchester boroughs, with aim of attracting £10bn investment and building c.75,000 homes. https://t.co/5CMboaYONI

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

Andy Burnham is backing plans to regenerate Old Trafford stadium and its surrounding area to bring £7bn to the UK economy.

But how exactly is that achieved? The Mayor of Greater Manchester joins #R4Today to outline his vision for growth in the region.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Today we set out our plan to bring rail into the @BeeNetwork by 2028.

It follows the same approach as GM took with bus re-regulation: three phases with clear deadlines.

It has been developed with the rail industry and we will now seek the agreement of the Government.

Why can’t Britain build anything anymore?

The news this week of the £100m ‘bat tunnel’ gave us some clues.

Here’s the story of this tunnel, which has been 12 years in the making, and some thoughts on what it tells us

"This is the first Budget since the 1980s to get serious about the epic scale of the UK’s housing crisis. We wholeheartedly support the Government’s drive to tackle it with a new generation of council and social homes"

Interesting first test for the new govt’s position on new transport infrastructure in the north: long awaited study commissioned by mayors calls for new line up the west coast - or the corridor falls over within the decade

Economic growth is going to be central to the new Government's agenda. But can we know what works? New and old data might cast some light on an emerging UK growth success story - Greater Manchester🐝
