Explained in plain English
What is 'decentralisation'?
Decentralisation means shifting power and decision making away from a central point, like Westminster, to other areas. Burnham's opening of No 10 North in Manchester is a clear example, aiming to spread government operations and influence across the UK, making it less London-centric and potentially more responsive to local needs.
