Manchester City Council

In 2010 Manchester City Council joined 12 other cities across the world to found the World Health Organisation’s Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities.  Manchester was the first UK member, a recognition of the commitment by the city to work with local agencies, residents and academics to create a ‘great place to grow older’. The programme now has over 700 cities, towns and other affiliated members, including in 2018, Greater Manchester, as the UK’s first city-region to get WHO recognition.

The LGA Labour Group exists to fight the corner for Labour councillors at a national level, both within
the cross-party Local Government Association and with the Labour Party at Westminster. The Group provide a strong voice for Labour councillors and act as a platform for ideas and innovation for all those committed to an effective localist element to Labour politics and policies.
