Important question: Where are the voices of communities in these plans?

Hope to see more focus on how people are shaping the future of the North throughout the day #COTN2025

Andy Burnham on transport and accessibility:

🚌Bus regulation is key
🎟️High fares hit young people hardest
🚆We need more capacity on northern rail to truly level up

The North can't thrive without affordable, accessible transport #COTN2025

A panel of northern mayors kicks off the day – big focus on collaboration across the North 🌍

Steve Rotherham:

✅Net zero must lead the agenda
✅Mersey tidal project could unlock green energy
✅Nature recovery can't be an add-on – it must be at the heart of plans

Angela Rayner speaking on the redrawing of the Green Book, potentially massive benefit to the North if done well #COTN2025

David Skaith, Tracy Brabin, and Oliver Coppard sat on chairs in a line. They’re smiling and talking.

Great to join fellow Yorkshire mayors, David Skaith and Oliver Coppard, at Convention of the North.

Sticking together on the other side of the Pennines!

We’re at #COTN2025 and held an excellent workshop on our #gamechanger for an Institute for Preventative Health Research based in the North. We’re determined to develop the region’s excellence in prevention, great to have so many champions to make this happen @thenhsa.bsky.social

At #COTN2025 Shadow Secretary of State Kevin Hollinrake calls for a commitment to delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail, but won’t be drawn on if cancelling the two northern legs of HS2 under the last government was the right call…

Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, stood speaking at a lectern. Behind her is a screen that says Convention of the North 2024

To deliver growth for the country, we need growth in our regions.

And the North is where opportunity lives.

Looking forward to this year’s Convention of the North and showcasing the talent and potential we have at our fingertips.
