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
🚕 SECOND TESTING CENTRE FOR TAXIS AND PRIVATE HIRE VEHICLES CONFIRMED
✅ PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT
We’re pleased to announce that a key budget and manifesto commitment from Bury Labour has been delivered.
It has been confirmed today that the contract to run a second testing centre for taxis and private hire vehicles has been awarded to Sunnybank Service Station in Unsworth.
Sunnybank Service Station is a local family run business that has served Bury for decades.
We promised the trade we’d deliver a second testing centre and we’re pleased today to be able to make this announcement. The centre will open from April once all training and systems updates have been completed.

📢 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 retweeted
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
🚨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
🏠 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.
We’re about to get going with tonight’s budget council meeting.
