Councillor Emma Taylor
Labour councillor for Sharston, Manchester City Council
- A wonderful announcement to end the week on. So many families in Sharston and across the rest of Wythenshawe will benefit from the new family hubs.
- A wonderful evening at The Lowry Theatre to see @nationaltheatre.org.uk production of Dear England. Brilliant acting, staging and music - bits of politics and comedy also thrown in whilst dealing with some sensitive and difficult issues.
- Still smiling on the doors in Sharston despite the weather (we are used to it in Manchester - and just get on with it!) We picked up a few pieces of casework this morning on airport parking and highways issues which we’ll be updating residents on in the coming days.
- This expansion is a real game changer and is a step in the right direction of tackling child poverty. Next step - auto-enrolment! Hundreds of thousands more children to get free school meals www.thetimes.com/article/20e9...
- Wonderful to join Wythenshawe Labour colleagues at the Forum this morning for a drop-in event on the future of Civic. Plenty of ideas from local residents flowing this morning which was brilliant to hear.
- This #IWD, I’m proud to be part of this amazing group of Manchester Labour women councillors. When I was elected for the first time in 2016, we tipped the balance to 50% representation on the council - and I know every single one of these women work incredibly hard to #AccelerateAction 💪🏻
- Thank you to @mikekanemp.bsky.social and team for inviting me to the annual International Women’s Day event at The Nest. Inspiring and moving speeches/calls to action throughout the event - topped off with a fitting tribute to Claire Mooney and a top notch keynote from Kate Green, Deputy Mayor of GM
- What beautiful leafleting weather! Spring has certainly sprung in Sharston. Lovely lunchtime session delivering our latest Sharston Labour newsletter to residents. 🌞
- Wonderful visit to the official opening of Navigators Wythenshawe Hub on Roundthorn Industrial Estate this morning. This is a desperately needed resource for Wythenshawe children, and I really do hope it makes a difference for families.
- Up the blues! On to the next round of the FA Cup 🏆
- An enjoyable day (and a first time visit for me) at Ludlow Races. A course with real character and charm, and surrounded by the scenic Shropshire hills and countryside. I also enjoyed a half of the Black Knight Ludlow Brewing stout! Looking forward to visiting this wonderful course again.
