Local Mayoral issues are just that. The Manchester and West Mids mayoral roles aren’t exact replicas of each other. There’s no PCC in Manchester because the Mayor has that role for example. Burnham will get more publicity because his role is far more wide ranging. I don’t know about West Mids responsibility for Clean Air Zones but in Meseryside that is retained by the local authorities and not the Metro Mayor, in Manchester they are Burnham’s responsibility. I suspect the West Mids is the same as Merseyside. That whole issue is a complete mess. Think about it, one charge for the whole of GM, six different charges for Merseyside, and how ever many charges for the West Mids. The blame for that lies with the individual local authorities that didn’t pass those responsibilities on in the negotiations.
