About Manchester City Council
Manchester City Council is a democratic organization comprising elected councilors, who are responsible for policies meant for provision of services and allocation of Council’s money. This local government authority is dedicated to the service of Manchester city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England. The council has 96 councilors, 32 each for three electoral wards of Manchester. The local body employs officers who take care of day-to-day management. The councilors decide on the policies that they find worthy for Council’s consideration. The councilors further ensure the policies are carried out the efficient way. The local councilor in the office represents the views and opinions of the individuals, and it is the local councilor who has to assess the difficulties and challenges faced by the council. Manchester City Council’s councilors decide about the way important functions are carried out. Local councilors are elected by the community. These councilors represent the public interest of the ward they have been chosen to serve. The council maintains regular contact via council meetings and telephone calls.
The council has three primary directorates. The Children and Families directorate prioritizes education and skill development. The directorate helps people become more independent and also safeguards vulnerable adults and children. The second directorate is Growth and Neighbourhoods. The directorate focuses on the sustainable growth of the city while retaining competitiveness. The directorate covers infrastructure, business, and skill base, and also connects local communities with employment opportunities. The Corporate Core directorate provides the governance, leadership, and supports the initiatives to make Manchester a world-class city.
