Utterly sickening, during the current COVID-19 crisis we’re facing in Salford. I’m horrified that thieves have stolen an estimated £166k worth of PPE for our NHS, Care & Key Workers. If whoever has done this has any decency about them they’d return it ASAP manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Thanks for this Department of Health and Social Care Matt Hancock Is it possible that you can provide details of all tests reported to yourselves undertaken in the City of Salford & all Local Authorities to enable us to have a single view & understanding of testing & outcomes within our Local Authorities?

Another first for Salford City Council thanks to Andy Join our virtual online walking and cycling forum next week for updates on how we are working to make walking and cycling easier and safer in the city! #SafeStreetsSaveLives facebook.com/events/8705858…

Thanks for raising this Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) As you’re aware Salford City Council are reporting a £33 million overspend in the first 6 months of 2020/21 as a consequence of additional costs and loss of income(s) resulting from COVID-19. Government must honour their word & fully cover all costs!

I welcome that Department of Health and Social Care has launched a new portal for care homes to arrange coronavirus testing on the 11th May 2020 but why only now when our first COBR meeting was on 2nd March and the country has been in lockdown since 23rd March? gov.uk/government/new…

Pleased to sign open letter to Dame Louise Casey along with Homes for Cathy Chartered Institute of Housing Homeless Link NFA et al., including recommendations for a plan to end homelessness for all & builds on Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s recent written submission to Housing, Communities & Local Government Committee. Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham

🗣️ "I find it hard to understand how the Department can claim to have fully funded the ‘Everyone In’ policy even on its own limited definition." Andy has written to Robert Jenrick at Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov setting out Greater Manchester's position on the 'Everyone In' homelessness policy. 👇

Worrying developments with government’s First Homes consultation & recent guidance asking councils to be ‘pragmatic’ in enforcing section 106 obligations. With a housing & homelessness crisis & >85,000 households on waiting lists in GM, how will this help? salfordcitynews.co.uk/news/18453153.…

Thanks @JenWilliamsMEN I look forward to Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov’s response to Andy’s letter. GM received £11.9m less in 2nd tranche of COVID-19 funding, we don’t have sustainable funding for the gov’s “everyone in” & we’ve >85,000 households on housing waiting lists in GM.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Good article by Andy Burnham Mayor of Greater Manchester highlighting regional inequities in council support, transport funding, engagement with COBRA from gov. during the pandemic, also reiterating the call for sustainable funding to maintain gov.’s “everyone in” policy theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Seems it’s not only Greater Manchester Combined Authority that have real concerns with the gov.’s First Homes consultation as @NatFedNews, The G15, Chartered Institute of Housing, Local Government Association (LGA) and London Councils warn that gov.’s First Homes policy will cut affordable housing delivery. #ukhousing insidehousing.co.uk/home/home/we-w…
