Older People's Greater Manchester Mayoral Hustings

Devolution is coming to Greater Manchester. Some powers, resources and decisions will be located from the government to Greater Manchester, and a Mayor for Greater Manchester will be elected in May 2017. Devolution could be a unique opportunity for citizens and civil society to have a greater say about the future of Greater Manchester.

 

The GM Older People’s Network invites you to come along to put questions and requests to the Greater Manchester Mayoral Candidates in advance of the election in May 2017.
