That was great. Thanks to the Mayor of West Yorkshire, the Deputy Leader of Leeds Council, and leaders from: Radar Healthcare, Sheffield Forgemasters, Jaguar Land Rover, Lloyds Banking Group, Produmax, Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, Aegis Energy, Channel 4, Media City, OxCam Supercluster, The Data City and Hydr, for a really productive conversation. Lots of ideas and actions to take back with me to HMT and No10 North.

So very sorry to hear this. Eamonn made such a positive difference to Greater Manchester and local govt and leaves a hugely positive legacy. Always generous with his time and insight, and fun to work with. One of the good guys gone too early. Sincere condolences to his family.

[Greater Manchester Combined Authority @greatermcr]

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Eamonn Boylan OBE, former Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Combined Authority and @BeeNetwork

Under his leadership Greater Manchester became a trailblazer for devolution, unlocking new powers and responsibilities, and taking buses back under public control for the first time in 40 years.

We’re setting a new growth plan that will boost living standards across the North.

At the heart is Northern Powerhouse Rail, which will:
✅ reduce journey times, increase frequency and reliability
✅ connect people with better jobs
✅ improve access to new homes

New skilled jobs will be the immediate benefit of the project, supported by a £570m fund to invest in training and skills.

Stronger transport links between our major cities will help local communities thrive and harness the untapped potential of the region.

Chickenpox is common. Usually it is just unpleasant, but it can be severe or life threatening.

A long established vaccine to prevent it will be offered to all children rather than only those who can pay.

Immunity by vaccination is safer than by infection.
