Tom HallAs part of Access’ White Paper, produced with We Are The Fair and the NTIA, the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham speaks on the need to get serious about night-time events…
“Events are really important to cities and regions. They bring in investment, create jobs, attract tourists. They also contribute toward people seeing the area as one that’s fun and dynamic.
“Events happen both day and night and we know that the night-time economy is the fifth largest industry in
the UK. It’s vital to Greater Manchester’s economy. That is why I appointed a night-time economy adviser for Greater Manchester. When our High Streets are struggling, the NTE has an important role to play in diversifying our town and city centres. We’re committed to making Greater Manchester’s night-time economy inclusive, diverse, safe and accessible – for all our residents and for all our visitors.”
