The new Business Secretary has plans for a 'brighter future' for Greater Manchester's

In an independent kombucha brewery under a railway bridge in Manchester Piccadilly, the new Secretary of State for Business and Trade suggested he would be ringing in a new era for Greater Manchester’s dying market towns. But Jonathan Reynolds, MP for Stalybridge and Hyde, also indicated there could be ‘difficult decisions’ ahead.

“I don’t want to look at the past. I know from the kinds of market towns I represent, they’ve changed in terms of business and shopping habits. But I still think they’re really important. I think there’s a better future and I want that to be a priority for the country.” “I know it’s hard but things that make the biggest difference sometimes can be hard. I think people aren’t looking to the past but they do recognise in a lot of places the health of the high street is a massive concern and it affects how people feel about their area and the economy.”

And Oldham Council recently announced plans to ‘transform the town centre’ with 2,000 new homes ‘on the doorstep’ of shops on the high street. Their partnership with ‘urban planners’ Muse, who are behind the regeneration projects in Manchester’s Northern Quarter and Salford Central, will involve attracting investment from both private and government funds to rejuvenate the fading town centre.

Emma Thackery, co-founder of Hip Pop, told the LDRS: “Late payments can be a massive issue for a growing business like ours. It can be difficult to deal with.
