Tonight our Council administration will be setting a balanced budget.

This will be the first time in 15 years under a labour government, who are supportive of local government and the public sector. We are protecting the most vulnerable, & investing in our borough #burybudget25

📢 BREAKING NEWS 📢

Bury's Labour cabinet has just agreed to commit up to £450,000 as part of our plan to help bring football back to Gigg Lane.

1) Fan-owned

2) One club

3) Solid business case

[Bury Labour Party @BuryLabour]

Funding from the council will boost monies already committed by the the government and supporters.

There is still a long way to go, but by working together we can make the dreams of football fans in Bury become a reality.

Elton resident to me yesterday; ‘@BuryTories tell me they’ve a plan for my children to swim for free. But they oppose my kids getting free school meals! What’s that about?’ She made the point better than I could. @BuryNorthLabour @BuryLabour @AndyBurnhamGM @sjsouthworth

[Bury Labour Party @BuryLabour]

Maybe that’s because it’s this very same Tory minister who is forcing Bury to accept a minimum housing target that puts our green belt at risk based on outdated population figures. 🧐 5/5

🚨DALY FAIL 🚨

🤷‍♀️ Last month he wanted the council to support a bid to the Community Ownership Fund to buy Gigg Lane, now it’s the Levelling Up Fund. It’s clear our MP doesn’t have a plan for Gigg Lane but it makes for some nice political grandstanding at election time. 1/5

[Bury Labour Party @BuryLabour]

🏠 We’d also like to know why our MP didn’t raise the issue of protecting our green belt. It seems to be the Tories’ number one priority but when the minister responsible for planning rolls into town, we don’t hear anything about it. 4/5

BREAKING: Conservative councillors just voted AGAINST Bury Labour’s plan to give families in Bury the Right to Food.

Labour councillors believe no one should go hungry. We’re disappointed that Conservative councillors don’t agree.

The choice Bury voters face this May is clear.

[Bury Labour Party @BuryLabour]

No child should go hungry in Bury.

Our budget commits to free school meals throughout the summer.

[Bury Labour Party @BuryLabour]

We’re about to get going with tonight’s budget council meeting.
