'Green Economy, Green Jobs' Event Friday March 15th

What If..?

What if Manchester City Council’s economic policy is wrong?

What if the jobs are not coming back as thought?

What if it can’t adapt to a hostile government’s welfare reforms?

What if you found out that Manchester has the highest levels of child poverty in the country?

What then?

We think differently about the Manchester economy.

Let’s talk about the future of Manchester.

We can build a model that is resilient and distributes wealth more equally in the city.

A model that can build a strong city and stronger region.
