GMP have informed the Council that a Dispersal Order for 48 hours is in place across the city centre. We don't need another rave like Castlefield last night. Too many people think the pandemic is over. Covid cases in GM tell us it's not.

Today we remember all those who were injured and traumatised. As an Irish person I am ashamed of what they did to our city. It started with the bomb - the legacy of the 1996 IRA attack on Manchester

You all have a cheek. We have suffered a decade of public service cuts including pubic health that has made the pandemic worse in our city. Where have you been with your concern for us ? We may put your letter up on our Piccadilly Wall and see what Mancunians think.
