Hospices play a vital role in our society and I'm proud that this government is investing a further £75 million for hospices across the country. This will deliver vital upgrades to facilities and buildings, ensuring patients receive care in the best possible environment.

Our motion was passed unanimously @ManCityCouncil today, reaffirming our view that 30% of new housing in our city needs to be affordable, & that 70% of those affordable homes should be for social rent.🏘 The new local plan will be published for full consultation in September.🏡

👀 Manchester should never have been forced to pay the price for previous Government’s mistakes, and HS2 Limited being poorly run. Want to make life better for commuters and boost the economy? Better rail connections North- South, East West help us all.

Great to check out the progress of fantastic new council homes we’re building in Collyhurst. All part of our plan to build 10,000 council, social and affordable homes right across the city. On track and delivering the most council & social homes we’ve built in almost 15 years!
