Wonderful to meet @AndyBurnhamGM to hand in 50 stories and pictures from #OurManchesterOurAir event, and agree the importance of publicly linking air pollution and long-term health impacts. This is the beginning of collaborative working with communities fighting for #CleanAir. @greatermcr
We’re getting reports that trees are being cut down from the former central retail park by a team on site RIGHT NOW. Cherry Blossom is latest tragedy. @ManCityCouncil what’s going on?
Thanks to @asthmalunguk for today's Our Manchester, Our Air event, a chance to chat with inspiring local campaigns & groups
Let's continue to take action & support community action on #airpollution
1200 dying each year across GM is 1200 too many, never mind the lives blighted

Disappointing that an area full of families is missing out on the opportunity of a 10 acre proper park.
The fight continues for the second half of the site.

🙏@EllaRobertaFdn's tireless fight has been recognised.
We need that ambitious #CleanAir strategy @SteveReedMP. It's not so easy to see dirty air, but we're all breathing it.
"I’m going to say it again and again. Ella isn’t the only one".

Maksim, now 14, has become one of our most dedicated campaigners for clean air and recently featured at our This is Life + Breath photography exhibition in the House of Commons.
Hear from Maksim, one of our clean air heroes: https://t.co/lSqmQKC7ag
Our Maksim👏👏👏👇He dedicated so much to making Manchester's air cleaner! Look at him- 10 year old when we fought against the car park on GAS, and now 15- still making the difference 💪 for cleaner greener 🌳🌳🌳 Manchester!
Thank you so much to all of our amazing runners at the 2024 Royal Parks Half Marathon yesterday! 👏 Registration for next year’s event is open now! https://t.co/YspO7Yg8I1
The government apology marks an important moment in our fight to tackle the dangerous health impacts of air pollution on our nation’s children who are most vulnerable. While we welcome this statement from Ministers – now is the time for action, not words. https://t.co/qdXzOnNWQa
Local leaders must show that they take this public health crisis seriously.
We need to see a plan that urgently brings levels of air pollution in line with World Health Organization guidelines, not just legal limits, to protect the health of local people.
Greater Manchester suffers from some of the worst air pollution levels in the UK, leading to high asthma rates and up to 1,200 early deaths each year.
