Working for a fairer, cleaner, greener Salford

When my mum needed care, I saw at first hand how confusing and exhausting the system can be for families. Nobody should have to fight for essential support while worrying whether they can afford it.

I’m pleased that Andy Burnham has committed to building a National Care Service, with free personal care for older people. It is a significant step towards treating care as a right, just as we do healthcare.

I have long said we must finish the job. A National Care Service should also support disabled people to live independently, give people who need care a real say in how it works, and value care workers with decent pay and conditions. It should move towards publicly run, accountable services where care comes before profit.

People who need care, their families and the workers who provide it deserve nothing less.

Reform UK have outdone themselves this weekend, accepting £72 MILLION in dodgy donations from two cryptocurrency billionaires. This is yet another example of Reform's blatant auctioning of our democracy to foreign billionaires acting in self interest.

That's over £2 MILLION A MONTH to spend between now and the next general election.

They say the money comes with 'no strings attached', and yet their plan for government involves cutting tax on the PROFITS of cryptocurrency firms & using Bitcoin as a reserve currency for the UK. Directly adding to the pockets of their doners.

Bitcoin has a history of huge price rises followed by massive crashes, sometimes losing 75–90% of its value. If Reform wants the UK government to hold Bitcoin, taxpayers could end up taking the risk when the price crashes. These are DODGY donations linked to policy promises which could wreck the UK economy.

They claim to be the party of the ordinary worker, but they will always serve the billionaires which fund them!

We welcome the calls for foreign donations to be restricted, in order to protect our democracy.

Fantastic speech from Rebecca Long Bailey on the importance of council housing! In Salford our City Mayor Paul Dennett set up Derive to deliver council housing at scale.

We’ve built hundreds of homes since Derive was set up, but we welcome the new direction from the government on taking investment in council housing seriously.

With these new measures, we hope to provide truly affordable housing to all of Salford’s residents!

🚧 £60 MILLION TO FIX GREATER MANCHESTER’S ROADS! 🚧

Potholes are one of the biggest frustrations residents raise with us — so we’re delighted to see £60 million being invested to repair roads and pavements across Greater Manchester.

Under GM Mayor Bev Craig, this major new Pothole Fund will help councils tackle potholes, improve road surfaces and make our streets safer and easier to get around.

And that means more money to fix roads here in Salford. 👷‍♀️🛣️

We know there’s still plenty to do, but this is a major investment in the everyday infrastructure that residents rely on.

£60m to get Greater Manchester moving — and Salford will benefit. 🌹

Building more council homes in Salford 🏠🌹

With Andy Burnham as PM, Greater Manchester has secured major investment in building new social and council housing, helping councils across the city-region deliver the homes our communities need.

Here in Salford, our council-owned developer Derive is already delivering hundreds of new council homes and helping to reduce the waiting list for social housing.

This new investment will enhance our ability to support Salfordians suffering from the housing crisis, getting them into a secure home and out of the private rented sector.

We’ll keep working with Andy Burnham, Salford City Council and Derive to make sure Salford gets its fair share of investment and that more local families have a safe, secure place to call home. 🌹🏠

🚆 Fantastic news for Swinton – work has started to make Swinton railway station fully accessible!

After years of campaigning for step-free access, I’m delighted that a £4.3 million investment is now being delivered to transform Swinton station.

The improvements will include:

♿ A new passenger lift providing step-free access to the platforms
🚻 A new accessible toilet and baby-changing facilities
🎟️ A refurbished, more accessible ticket office
💡 Improved lighting and CCTV to make the station safer and more welcoming

For too long, the stairs at Swinton have been a barrier for disabled passengers, older residents, parents with buggies and anyone who struggles with steps. This investment will make a real difference to people across Swinton and Salford.

The station will remain open and trains will continue to run as normal throughout the works, which are expected to be completed by spring 2027.

This is another important step towards a fully accessible, integrated Bee Network, making public transport work better for everyone.

A big thank you to everyone who has campaigned for this investment and helped make it happen. Swinton deserves a railway station that everyone can use. 🚆

Clarendon Leisure Centre is coming back!

After lengthy and challenging negotiations with the insurer, we can now push on with replacing this vital community asset.

Thanks to our councillors and lead member for getting this across the line!

Good news for families this summer! ☀️

Children across Salford can travel free on buses throughout August, making it a little easier to get out and about during the school holidays.

We know the cost of living is still putting pressure on lots of families, so it's great to see support like this alongside discounts on family days out, attractions and kids' meals over the summer.

Where are you heading this summer?
