The 2024 Mayoral election for Greater Manchester is fast approaching. On Thursday 2nd May, the polling stations will be open for residents in our region to vote for who they want to be the next Mayor. As an organisation independent of government, we do not want to have an influence over who our members vote for, we want to ensure our members have all the information available so you can make an informed decision.
