Greater Manchester has a choice.
United City is a new voice for business that believes Greater Manchester needs a total transport revolution if we are to remain competitive in the global marketplace. We know that massive investment and tens of thousands of new jobs will be lost if we do nothing.
We stand convinced that our City Region’s bid into the government’s Transport Innovation Fund, which will secure £3 billion of new, national investment in our infrastructure, is a once-only opportunity that we must support, together.
