UK plans mayoral control over business rates and shifts SEN funding, but budget lacks new money, leaving local services strained.
The UK government is considering giving mayors control over a share of business rates in their regions, part of broader devolution efforts to boost local economic investment.
It also plans to shift responsibility for special educational needs funding to central government to address inequities, while expanding tourism tax powers to some non-mayoral areas.
