GREATER Manchester is heading for its 'best decade since the Victorian period,' Andy Burnham has claimed.

- BY ETHAN DAVIES

Region set for best days since 'Queen Victoria'

The mayor was speaking at the launch of the new 'Greater Manchester Strategy' on Wednesday evening (July 9), which outlined the Labour politician's priorities for the next decade. They included some new announcements, and previously trailed policies.

"This next decade, the one ahead of us, will be the best decade in the city-region since the Victorian period," Mr Burnham, first elected in 2017, told council leaders, transport bosses, and business supremos at the launch at the newly renovated Campfield market hall in the city centre.

"That's the opportunity in front of us. We have got that in our hands. It's about delivering everything we know we can to improve our residents' lives."
