Plaid Cymru’s leader has committed to pushing for greater local authority powers during upcoming discussions with Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, who has repeatedly called for expanded devolution from Westminster. The talks follow ongoing debates over how regional governance could be reshaped to grant councils more control over key services and funding. With both sides advocating for stronger local decision-making, the meeting could mark a pivotal moment in the push for further devolved powers. Supporters argue this would streamline public services, while critics question whether it risks fragmenting national policy.
