Really happy to see this and proud of decisions weโre taking in #GreaterManchester Care-experienced young people donโt have things many of us take for granted inc. parents/family to pay for travel to work or education A life-changing commitment from #Labour Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM
Yesterday, Greater Manchester approved free travel passes up until the age of 25 for young people who have experienced care. Through devolution, important progressive steps continue to be made.

Quite something to see 615 signs go up on Bolton Rd #Aspull - stops thatโve been โSchool buses onlyโ since service was cut in 2020. This is what buses under local control looks like ๐ Weโre out with posters/leaflets to promote the new bus ๐ Thanks @AndyBurnhamGM @BeeNetwork
