    📣Today @MayorofGM has announced ambitions to support all under-25s, over-75s and disabled people in Greater Manchester to get online 🗣️ “The time is coming where we need to see digital connectivity as a basic human right. More ⬇️ greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/news/mayor-of-… #FixTheDigitalDivide
    An image of Andy Burnham next to his quote The time is coming where we need to see digital connectivity as a basic human right. Without it, people will be shut out of the conversation, lose access to essential services and miss out on a whole range of opportunities. "This is why I am setting a new ambition to help all under-25s, over-75s and disabled people in Greater Manchester to get online."

    Joint statement by Greater Manchester Leaders following protests and unrest across the country ⬇️ orlo.uk/FDkve
    “We thank the officers and staff of Greater Manchester Police for all the work they are doing to protect our city-region. They have faced an exceptionally challenging situation and met it with bravery and professionalism. We thank them for their swift action to keep our residents and businesses safe and the proactive approach they are taking. “While some bad actors have stoked tension on social media, decent people across Greater Manchester have been working quietly on the ground to calm things down. We are grateful to them and to all the public servants who’ve been working around the clock. “We are proud of the way Greater Manchester has once again pulled together to keep our communities safe. Only by continuing to work together can we defeat those who want to divide us. Those who broke the law will be pursued, and they will be brought to justice. As Greater Manchester Leaders, we speak in one voice when we say that there will never be a place for hatred or violence here.”
    Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester Kate Green, Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester City Mayor Paul Dennett, Salford City Council Cllr Bev Craig, Manchester City Council Cllr Nick Peel, Bolton Council Cllr Eamonn O’Brien, Bury Council Cllr Arooj Shah, Oldham Council Cllr Neil Emmott, Rochdale Council Cllr Mark Hunter, Stockport Council Cllr Gerald Cooney, Tameside Council Cllr Tom Ross, Trafford Council Cllr David Molyneux, Wigan Council

    A schoolboy from #Oldham is among the 1000+ people being recognised in the New Year Honours list. 13 yo Ibrahim Yousaf is the youngest person on the list. It's for raising thousands for good causes like Oldham Foodbank and the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity.
