Bev Craig for Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester is a special place – from the industrial revolution, the trade union and cooperative movements and the suffragettes – this place has always fought for progress.

This place changed my life and I owe it everything it gave me opportunities I could never have imagined, and I’ve spent my career trying to give something back.

While Westminster left places like ours behind, Greater Manchester has taken control of our own future and we’ve started building our own success.

Working alongside former Mayor Andy Burnham, we have achieved so much over the – bringing buses back under public control, creating jobs, attracting investment, and pushing Greater Manchester forward as a real powerhouse of the North West.

But for too many people, who work hard and do the right thing, life still feels too hard and unaffordable. As Mayor I will apply a simple test: will it make life better?

I will work every day for us to make sure everyone shares in the success Greater Manchester is building – making sure there’s more money in people’s pockets, pride in every town centre with a New High Streets Fund, a new generation of council and affordable homes and an expanded Bee Network that freezes fares and that works for all of us.

That’s why I’m standing to be Mayor – to build a Greater Manchester that works for everyone.
