No.10 North is a UK Government unit concerned with devolution and local economic growth. Its establishment in July 2026 formed part of a reorganisation of the centre of government. The design brings together functions previously held in different departments, linking decisions about regional powers with policy on local economies.

The restructuring provides for local growth and devolution strategy to move from the housing department, alongside local growth policy from the Treasury. The Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet was created to house No.10 North alongside other central government functions. Its remit concerns coordination across government and the wider economy, bringing the needs of different places into central strategy. That institutional role extends beyond any individual regional investment announcement. [Government structure](https://www.GOV.UK/government/news/machinery-of-government-changes-fact-sheet)
