2024 was quite a year for Manchester. From world class events, more jobs and a record number of council homes built.
Here’s to making Manchester an even better city. The best place to grow up and get on- where everyone benefits from our growth.

After 14 years of cuts and underinvestment, the road to recovery is long.
Good to see investment in our roads, buses, police, children and young people and so much more.
Locally we will always stand up for what Manchester needs.
