Should the UK adopt Andy Burnham's devolution model giving communities control over housing, transport and utilities?

Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester mayor, won the Makerfield by-election and is now frontrunner to succeed Keir Starmer as prime minister. He advocates 'Manchesterism', shifting power from London and placing housing, utilities, transport and education under direct community control. His Bee Network transport system is cited as an example of this approach.
