The ten councils (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan), have worked together voluntarily for many years on issues that affect everyone in the region, such as transport, regeneration, and attracting investment. The GMCA gives local people more control over issues that affect their area. It means the region speaks with one voice and can make a strong case for resources and investment. Its vision is to make Greater Manchester one of the best places in the world to grow up, get on and grow old.
