Elected Mayors- England

Cards (3)

  • In 2000 government establishes an elected mayor in London. In 2004 a North-East assembly is held with a 78% no vote. During the coalition the idea is again introduced but only Leicester, Liverpool and Bristol elect mayors.
  • 2017 the idea takes off as greater Manchester, west midlands, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough get mayors.
  • Mayors have more importance/power during lockdown (2020) as there are different tear systems.
