Manchester

We have a collective right to Manchester — let’s proclaim it

By Sean Benstead | 3 June, 2021Friends of The Meteor

Our report on public land privatisation published two weeks ago has sparked a political debate across our city on how we might better manage our public assets. Here we publish reflections from an organiser at Greater Manchester Labour for a Green New Deal.

We are The Meteor.

The Meteor is a not-for-profit, independent media co-operative – an alternative, radical, community-based publication for the people of Manchester. We tell stories that are neglected in the mainstream, investigate and challenge local power structures and explore important issues, from the everyday to the earth-shattering.

More about us

We’re offering an alternative.

Direct to your inbox.

We’re amplifying the voices, issues and ideas that are marginalised, under-represented or ignored by the mainstream. Sign up to our mailing list to get our monthly round ups.
