We were out today with @GMPFallowfield for speedwatch around Fairholme Road. Residents joined us to discuss concerns, and GMP pulled over a number of motorists. 👮🏼‍♂️ 🚘 We will do more speedwatch in the coming months, and will keep lobbying the Council for action on road safety.

There are a number of protests in Manchester this weekend including a visit from the far right group Britain First. Please see the message to our communities from @ManCityCouncil below - “Manchester does not tolerate racism, bigotry or division”.

Throughout August, @BeeNetwork are lifting the 9.30am rule on older and disabled people’s bus passes. They’ll analyse data to see whether it will be possible to make it permanent. Another fab example of @AndyBurnhamGM working with local Labour to benefit residents in need. 🚌👏🏻

Our latest street surgery – in Withington Ward on Saturday – saw lots of residents raising a wide variety of issues with me and the local Withington Councillors. Thanks to everyone who stopped by— we appreciate the conversations and ideas.

This morning we held a street surgery with @JeffSmithetc in Ladybarn. We had lots of good conversations with residents, and we are following up on the issues raised. We then did a door-knocking session, where we updated people on the work we’ve been doing in the local area. 🌹

When our local neighbourhoods thrive, the rest of the country thrives too. Labour is giving communities across the UK the support they need to unlock their full potential.

Great to see Secretary of State @wesstreeting announce the rebuild of North Manchester General Hospital in the most urgent phase. North Mcr desperately needs investment and our residents deserve the best the NHS has to offer, it will also spearhead ambitious regeneration 👇🏼
