This will contribute to the government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/steve-reed-absolutely-committed-1-5m-uk-housing-target\/155152\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">push to build 1.5m new homes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The prime minister is also confirming investments to several major transport projects in England, including a mass transit system in West Yorkshire, expanding the Birmingham Metro, and reopening the Cowley branch rail line from Oxford city centre to the new Science Park.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cIt will be the next generation that suffers\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Prime minister Keir Starmer said: \u201cFor too long, Britain has been held back by a system that says no, delaying projects, blocking growth and leaving communities behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re turning that on its head by backing our mayors to get Britain building again, with spades in the ground and more jobs across the country. There will always be the naysayers and the blockers, but we cannot afford to give into them &#8211; because it will be the next generation that suffers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThis government is backing mayors with the biggest devolution drive in a generation, putting real power in the hands of local leaders, because those with skin in the game know best what their communities need. That is the right thing to do for communities, and it\u2019s the right thing to do for growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin stated: \u201cWe have ambitious plans for our region and a Mass Transit network is a key part to unlocking our untapped potential which will boost growth and put more money in people\u2019s pockets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith backing from the government and more powers devolved to mayors who know their areas best, we will transform West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding the Mass Transit system our region needs will benefit the economy, strengthen connections, and improve lives for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prime minister has met with mayors across the country to address construction blockers and devolved local powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":162677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[276,173172,172995],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-162673","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-local-authorities","10":"tag-new-towns"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>PM meets with mayors to address construction blockers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The prime minister has met with mayors across the country to address construction blockers and devolved local powers\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/pm-meets-with-mayors-address-construction-blockers\/162673\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"PM meets with mayors to address construction blockers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The prime minister has met with mayors across the country to address construction blockers and devolved local powers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/pm-meets-with-mayors-address-construction-blockers\/162673\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
