United City is a new voice for business that believes Greater Manchester needs a total transport revolution if we are to remain competitive in the global marketplace. We know that massive investment and tens of thousands of new jobs will be lost if we do nothing.

We stand convinced that our City Region’s bid into the government’s Transport Innovation Fund, which will secure £3 billion of new, national investment in our infrastructure, is a once-only opportunity that we must support, together.

Taken together, the proposed £3 billion package of investment represents the biggest-ever public transport improvement scheme outside London. Vitally, we have been assured that the congestion charge will not be introduced until the bulk of these improvements have been made.

We have built our businesses in Greater Manchester. We are focused on a better future. We are united. We urge you to join us. Let’s keep Manchester moving.
