A consultation has begun to ask for views to help shape the strategy for Greater Manchester for the next 20 years.

Participants will be able to give wide-ranging, general views on how they want to see Greater Manchester progress or discuss specific topics that matter to them. There will also be eight questions discussing aspects of life in Greater Manchester that have been identified as being vital to creating the new strategy.

People can give their views to help shape the new Greater Manchester Strategy on the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) website here.

Local Campaigner Paul Ankers said “This is a great opportunity for people to give their views”

Views can be shared in a number of different ways – via social media, face to face interviews and young people will be given the chance to share their vision for the city-region’s future through postcards that are being distributed to local schools.
