I recently spoke in the Budget debates, highlighting some other local issues I’ve been working on.

With both Manchester City Council and Trafford Borough Council, we have a series of oven-ready schemes to drive genuine regional growth and economic development across our area.

The Airport City Masterplan includes the first phase of the Hut Group’s £1 billion business campus, which will support up to 10,000 jobs. A new £250 million hotel district is also gathering pace. Plans for a MediPark at Wythenshawe Hospital are well-advanced, with significant life science and health innovation businesses linked to the hospital and Manchester Airport.
