In a significant shift in the UK's governmental structure, Prime Minister Andy Burnham is establishing a new office known as “No 10 North” in Manchester, where he plans to conduct official duties at least one day each week. This initiative aims to centralize some governmental powers outside London, reflecting Burnham's commitment to devolving authority and resources to the north of England, where he previously served as mayor.
As part of this initiative, London-based civil servants have been offered relocation packages to encourage their transfer to Manchester. Among the early moves related to this transition, British Cypriot MP Nesil Caliskan has been appointed to work at Burnham's No 10 North, having previously served as the parliamentary undersecretary. This announcement is part of a broader strategy to enhance the presence of governmental functions in Manchester and stimulate regional development.
