Chaired by Jo Platt MP, on Monday the Greater Manchester APPG brought together Parliamentarians, business leaders and educators to set out how GM us going further and faster to unlock the #skills, #innovation and #investment needed to power future #growth.

Yesterday in Parliament: faster trains, better buses, connected systems. Unlocking the North isn’t just transport, it’s 500k homes, 250k jobs, £118bn a year. Connectivity = opportunity. #NorthernPowerhouse @JoPlattLeigh @MarkJSewards @huwedwards @GillMorris91110 @Transport4North

𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁! Metrolink is officially coming to Stockport This is a huge moment for our town and for Greater Manchester. It means better connections, more opportunities, and another big boost for the UK’s largest town centre regeneration.

BIG news for the @BeeNetwork! The Government is backing it with £2.5 billion to become the UK’s first fully-integrated, all-electric public transport system by 2030. 🐝

The Chancellor has just confirmed the money for Metrolink to come to Heywood! My hard work to argue for more investment in transport in my constituency has paid off due to the commitment of the Labour Government to transform our communities. I am delighted by today's news.
