Show Notes
Eamonn Boylan, a influential figure in Greater Manchesters local government, passed away after a successful career marked by significant changes and growth. As the chief executive of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, he led the region through the Covid crisis and secured a major devolution deal. Boylans leadership transformed Greater Manchester into the UKs fastest-growing city region.
In other news, a building collapse in Oldham has raised concerns about human trafficking, with over forty people found in overcrowded, unregistered flats nearby. The site is linked to a company directed by local councillor Kamran Ghafoor, and police are investigating.
Meanwhile, adventurers are risking their lives at Rochdales derelict asbestos hotspot, once the worlds biggest maker, sharing clips online despite the deadly dangers.
Reform UK continues to gain ground, securing another seat with George Martin now representing Tottington on Bury council, bringing their total to twelve across the region just before local elections. Boylans legacy serves as a reminder that real progress often comes quietly but leaves a lasting impact.
