Some good news - the ‘GM Ringway’ – a new long-distance walking trail for Greater Manchester - is going ahead with lottery help. Designed around existing footpaths, parks and open-access land, all 20 stages of the 186-mile route are designed to be accessed by public transport.

Last May, we revealed that Sacha Lord's company, Primary Event Solutions, was granted £400k off the back of a misleading funding application in 2021. Last night, Lord resigned as Andy Burnham's night time economy advisor, and today the Arts Council asked for the money back.

New figures from @AndyBurnhamGM show a reduction in people sleeping rough in Greater Manchester. Burnham says we have a "very challenging" winter ahead but says the hard work of charities and GM's new initiatives tackling homelessness have started to pay off.
