Manchester is launching its vision for the next ten years with a list of twelve priorities for the next decade
They will guide the Council’s policies over the next 10 years and fit into three categories on what we can do to improve the lives of the people who live here, the neighbourhoods in which we live, and the ambitions they have for our city.
They will build on the advances of the previous ten years which includes investment into Ancoats, Beswick, Collyhurst, Miles Platting, New Islington and Wythenshawe as well as advances in schools and house building
Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council said: “Over the last 10 years we have seen tremendous things happen in Manchester, things which have well and truly put us on the global stage as a city and put us in an incredibly strong position to keep growing over the coming decade.
“We are incredibly confident that the next 10 years will be our best yet.
“Building on strong foundations we want Manchester to the best place in the country to grow up, live well and live happy, successful lives. We will tackle inequality and health inequity, deliver our ambitious housing plan to build tens of thousands of homes, create over 100,000 new jobs, invest and improve our neighbourhoods, invest in better transport and digital connections and build a more sustainable city.
“Manchester has seen significant change over the last decade, and today we are setting out our deliberately ambitious strategy for our collective future, and an action plan to power us through the next 10 years. It is a plan that will improve our city as well as the everyday lives of our residents. Getting to this stage has been a long process, and we have heard to more than 10,000 Mancunian voices about their hopes and dreams for our city.
“Together we will create a city that is a joy to live and work in and where Mancunians, both home-grown and adopted, that is demonstrably better in 2035 and everyone feels proud of.”
