Bev Craig backs devolution push to reshape Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester's new Labour mayor Bev Craig says Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plan to devolve income tax powers to mayors could change our lives as she secures the Makerfield by-election victory; she pledges to freeze Metrolink and Bee Network bus fares, extend free bus travel to 11–18-year-olds, and deliver 50,000 new homes, with turnout under 25%.
