UK cities call for more local control


UK cities need to be smarter if they want to thrive, according to panelists at an EG/GVA UK cities debate at MIPIM yesterday. Four speakers from the UK’s key cities called for more local control while maintaining a national perspective. Manchester council’s chief


executive Sir Howard Bernstein said: “We have to continually assess market conditions and come up with


innovative funding solutions.” Leeds LEP chair Neil McLean said:


“We need to be more adventurous with funding, aggregate funds and leverage from them.” Fellow panelists were London’s Sir


Edward Lister, Birmingham city council leader Mike Whitby and GVA’s Stephen Hollowood and you can see a video recording of the entire debate online next week.
