What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Andy Burnham is reportedly reducing ambitions to pump central government funding into the new towns programme, instead favoring a more devolved approach. Government ministers expressed concern over the potential cost of establishing new towns, leading to a cooling of support for the program. The government had previously confirmed seven new town locations, each expected to contain at least 10,000 homes.
