Labour Co-op Councillor for Deansgate in Manchester City Centre 🐝 Chair of Economy & Regeneration. Occasional thinker.
We’re meeting at Abraham Moss Leisure Centre because it’s important that decisionmaking happens right across the city not just in the town hall, and our reports have a strong North Manchester theme!

We’re live from 2pm. Watch and read our papers at: democracy.manchester.gov.uk/ieListDocume...

We’ll be thinking through: Why is Manchester’s economy doing so well? What does this mean for people in the city? And what can we learn from this for our economic strategy?

All our papers are online and a livestream of the meeting starts at 2pm ⬇️

Thanks Nick - in my full speech (too long for bsky!), I mentioned some of your research on their economic impact too.

I strongly agree with you - community ownership can boost communities *and* their economies.
