The north-east of England and the Tees Valley are to each have an elected mayor to preside over regional issues, George Osborne has announced. The deal, hailed as "historic" by the chancellor, gives regional figureheads power over policies such as transport, strategic planning and employment. People will choose a directly-elected mayor in 2017.

The more the government pushes this means the more I dont want it as it seems like the Tories are pushing there own agenda forward without a care in the world
