So, the hard work begins. I’ve done it with a promise and a plan, and my promise to you is that I will leave this city region better.

We will work together, we will do it together, we will deliver it together and we will build a Greater Manchester that works for all of us, that we are all part of, where everyone feels welcome and everyone has the chance to succeed.

I never believed as a girl growing up on a council estate that one day I would have the chance to stand for the place that I love.

Because that is what it is all about.
