What is Number 10 North?
Number 10 North is a new government hub in Manchester, mirroring the famous Downing Street address. It's part of a broader strategy to decentralise government operations and bring decision-making closer to different parts of the UK. This move aims to boost regional economies and ensure policies better reflect the needs of people outside London, as highlighted by the PM's personal connection to Manchester.
