Be great to get as many growers, producers, caterers, hospitality and retailers inputting into the food recovery planning for #Manchester. #sustainablefoodsystems

We're working hard on our Action Plan, had lots of incredibly informative and energising conversations with some brilliant delivery partners over the past week. Looking forward to squeezing in some more great conversations before Christmas!

Two more bike thefts from #eastdidsbury #cyclehub today. How are people meant to keep cycling when bikes are constantly being nicked from a ‘secure’ hub with CCTV?! Thieves obviously have an entry card so @OfficialTfGM cross-check with CCTV and tell @gmpolice who it is!!!
