The mayors of Manchester and Liverpool are set to visit the University of Sheffield next week as part of their book launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham are both visiting The Octagon next Monday to discuss their book ‘Head North’, which details the challenges and experiences they faced before becoming mayors of their respective regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beth Perry, who is chairing the event, said: \u201cI am honoured to chair the debate and I am looking forward to getting stuck into Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham’s 10 point plan to rewire power in the nations and regions of England.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A debate will be held between the two leaders and the audience as well as a Q&A surrounding topics such as the potential to redistribute political and economical power across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will also delve into how we can make a fairer future for the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Kriss, a director of Opus, who are organising the event, said: \u201cAs mayors of two of the biggest cities in the UK, they have a unique insight into the inequality of power between London and other places and the potential benefits that further redistribution and devolution could bring to the whole of the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
