The Greater Manchester Combined Authority

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is a regional organization that brings together local leaders from Manchester and surrounding areas to coordinate policies on issues like transportation, housing, and economic growth. It helps ensure that efforts across different local councils are aligned, allowing for more effective planning and decision-making on matters that affect the wider region. The GMCA works with the UK government to secure funding and implement initiatives to improve infrastructure, address social challenges, and boost regional development, fostering collaboration for the benefit of Greater Manchester’s residents and businesses.
