Cllr Gavin White

Fantastic to see all these social and affordable homes being built across 5 different Project 500 sites in Higher Blackley, Crumpsall and Harpurhey - thank you to local @manchesterlabour.bsky.social councillors who have helped support and champion the provision of new social housing in their wards.

We had some good discussions and debate at two committees today on the local plan that is currently out for consultation.

A team of volunteers at Albemarle Allotment are doing some great work in the community, including donating fruit & veg to Withington Community Kitchen. Check out their short film to learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jGW...

The final part of the visit was to see two more sites in Harpurhey, where 46 more affordable homes are being built to the energy efficient Passivhaus standard, with 28 new homes for social rent. Fantastic to see these new homes nearly complete for local residents to move in.🏡🏗

In Crumpsall, on Parkhill Avenue, opposite North Manchester General Hospital, a further 24 affordable homes, including 15 for social rent are being built on a former brownfield site to help build low carbon, social rent and affordable homes for local residents in Crumpsall.🏡

We visited a number of our Manchester City Council Project 500 sites today.

In Higher Blackley, 34 affordable homes, including 22 for social rent, are being built across two sites.

These much needed affordable and energy efficient homes will be great for our local residents in North Manchester.🏡

I spoke in support of a motion from Cllr Sam Lynch at council last week, which highlighted importance of delivery of new housing by Manchester Labour in our city.

717 new social and affordable homes have been built in last year.

Good progress, still plenty more to do.🏡

My column for tomorrow’s (Manchester) Guardian - on the city’s economic revival, and why it should inspire the chancellor’s autumn budget productivity plan

Strong construction growth in today’s economic figures.

ONS output data shows private housebuilding up 5.7% on the same quarter last year.

Ignore the naysayers - this Labour government is getting Britain building.

Good news for older and disabled people in Greater Manchester. This month, those with a concessionary travel pass can ride buses for free around the clock as part of local trial.

Nice to join the Old Moat Youth Outreach Project’s Little Fest at the weekend — a well-run day of community, creativity and fun for local families. Thanks to everyone involved in making it happen.
