Heather said: “I truly believe that Manchester is a world city, but we cannot be complacent and must continue to collectively work on our ‘offer’ to stand our as a unique destination by playing to our strengths in innovation, education, culture, leisure and retail.”

And Erinle said that CityCo is continuing to devise initiatives for Manchester to “support growth and create a vibrant, resilient city”.

The developer recently gained approval on the first phase of 24-acre Mayfield development behind Piccadilly Train Station, as part of the Mayfield Partnership with Manchester City Council, LCR, and Transport for Greater Manchester.
