Catherine Hynes will be Deputy Leader of Council and takes the new Equalities & Partnerships Portfolio. Tackling inequality will be a huge part of our work in a borough where those born in the south of Trafford live on average almost a decade longer than those born in the north.

#TraffordLive 🎉is 4 weeks on Sunday!!! Hope you'll be attending? We have some amazing groups and sporting organisations. Best of all...it's all free. Bouncy castle, climbing wall, golf lesson, cricket, hockey, arts and crafts, singers, dancers. Make sure you don't miss out. 😎

#TheApprentice is back on BBC One next Wednesday at 9pm and we're backing openly gay Senior Marketing Manager Frank Brooks. Proud of him already! #WereBackingBrooksy #WeBeWatching #SeeYouThere thegayuk.com/is-frank-brook… pinknews.co.uk/2018/09/25/fra…

Wishing all of our partners, sponsors, contacts, supporters and volunteers a very safe and enjoyable #Christmas. We're excited to be continuing plans for the 2nd #TraffordPride in 2019. #MerryChristmas #HappyChristmas #LGBTPride #Trafford #Sale #Altrincham #Timperley

Rob was at our 1st Trafford Pride: Are they still important? They've always been really important to me. Homophobia & transphobia is still rife even here in the UK. Until stigma & harassment ends they'll be more than just a party. If that day ever comes, we deserve to celebrate!

Not all stripes are straight. 🌈 Our commitment to inclusivity will take another step forward when we swap our traditional red and white for a one-off kit based on the LGBT Pride Flag. Read more here ➡️ bit.ly/2Sj0Fjh

Despite being tagged in posts for Official Pride In Trafford which has taken place since Wednesday, we are not involved. Sadly, apart from the few (mainly political) stalls, today doesn't look to have been well attended (or promoted) but at least there has been a presence. Watch this space.

A member of our team spoke to Ms #Widdecombe when/after she was on Strictly, however did not discuss anything LGBT-related. Whether she meant that science could explain how people are #LGBT, we support Altrincham Garrick Playhouse's decision to cancel her show. #WeStandTogether x.com/BBCRadioManc/s…
