There will also be a a new park, and 450 new trees as part of the development too.🌳

Great to have so many volunteers out chatting to residents in Withington today. Had lots of conversations about government chaos and people are ready to vote Labour to send the tories a message 🌹

The Tories have let Manchester and our country down. Another Tory PM won't make a difference. We need a #GeneralElectionNow 🗳

Had my letter drafted but not sure there is anyone left in government to write to?

Chaos and incompetence have reigned too long. Time to put it to the country.

In an era of hyperbole, I cannot state enough the damage that our inadequate rail networks are inflicting on our residents, commuters and businesses in Manchester & beyond.

The Secretary of State for Transport needs to take a firm grip and regain control. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/o…

Exciting times 🎶

Great discussion yesterday with ⁦Bev Craig⁩ and the Manchester ⁦Arup UK⁩ staff. Sharing our ‘Ideas for Manchester’, as professionals but more importantly citizens of Manchester. Inclusive places, circular economy and accessibility were top topics.

While the soap opera preoccupies Westminster- this is the reality for too many across the country.

Private renters have waited long enough for this Conservative government to improve their rights and conditions.

Ministers must bring forward the Renters’ Reform Bill as a matter of urgency.

The right to lawful protest is a fundamental right in this country and these scenes are unacceptable in our city. GMP have confirmed investigations are underway and are in touch with the Home Office and Foreign Office. I support my colleague Afzal Khan MP calling for Govt action.

Great to have Cllr Gavin White and local Manchester Labour 🐝 in Wythenshawe leading the way

There isn’t a single bookable weekend service between November and Christmas on the busiest mainline in the UK.

Ministers handed over millions without securing the most basic commitments.

More pics from yesterday's school streets trial Acacias CPS in partnership with MCC Burnage & local residents & Fallowfield, Withington, Levenshulme Police (GMP). The two streets were quieter and parents walked, cycled & scooted to school. 13 volunteers marshals took part including six residents. Thank you all.

The Government crashed the economy, and are clueless how to recover. Despite the national chaos - we in Manchester have announced an extra £8million to support our residents worried about the cost of living crisis. We will not sit idly by, and always stand up for our communities.
