The greenbelt backlash in Andy Burnham’s backyard

In a surprising move, the Labour authority led by Andy Burnham has scrapped all employment schemes from its planning blueprint, sparking a backlash in the greenbelt area. This decision comes as the prime minister pledges growth across all regions. The removal of these schemes has raised concerns among local residents and business owners about the future economic development in the area. The implications of this decision could impact local employment rates and economic stability, highlighting a potential conflict between local and national economic policies.
