Introducing a new Greater Manchester icon: the yellow, electric #BeeNetwork bus. These 50 will enter service in Wigan and Bolton a month today as we retake control of our buses. You know what makes it even better? All of them were built in the UK.👍🏻

“We all need to reconnect power with the promotion of the common good, rather than what we have seen in recent times the association of ‘power with corruption and lies’.”

We won’t get the growth we need until we fix something the UK has long neglected: technical education. Today GM sets a new mission of our own: to give all young people growing up here a clear and equal path in life. #GreaterManchesterBaccalaureate #MBacc

Today GM is set to approve the UK’s first city-region-wide Good Landlord Charter. We’re giving greater recognition to the decent ones - and going after the bad ones. 💪🏻
