Manifesto: Bev Craig’s Plan For Cost Of Living
What Is Bev Craig's Plan For Cost Of Living?
My commitment to you is to use the powers I would have as Mayor to make your life cheaper and easier. We used to believe that if you worked hard and did the right thing life would get better, but for too many that just isn’t the case. We can’t just carry on with business as usual. So I want us to play our full part in making life cheaper and easier for all people in Greater Manchester. We are committed to taking bold and rapid steps to save money in your pocket now
