These aren’t small challenges, whether building a stronger fairer economy, tackling climate change, or rebuilding hope and agency in our democracy locally and nationally. This is what I will be getting stuck right into from day one.

It’s an important time to think about the politics alongside the policy, to work for delivery now, and reflect what more is needed over the years ahead and the challenges they will bring.

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 ⬇️
