By the end of September, #Manchester city centre still lagged behind other local centres🐝

It had recovered only 51% of its pre-lockdown levels of activity, which corresponds to a two-percentage point increase compared to last month 🛍️🍽️
Looking at other town centres in Greater Manchester, #Wigan ranks first, having recovered 103% of footfall, followed by #AshtonunderLyne (79%) and #Bury (79%).

- Merseyside Police investigating City Council
- Lancashire Police - #OperationSheridan
- Serious Fraud Office, North West Serious Crimes Unit & GMP investigating property scams
- Council finances not being signed off by an auditor for the last 5 years

Something smells fishy🐟👀

Well, ye. It would...

Have a look 👀
