Economy Scrutiny Committee - Tuesday, 2nd June, 2026 2.00 pm

The Economy Scrutiny Committee met to review the Quarterly Economy Dashboard and discuss the council's work programme. Members raised questions about data reliability, population figures, and the impact of economic growth on residents.

About

The Economy and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee examines issues impacting Manchester's economy and its residents, working with the Council and partners to maximise economic benefits and provide protection during less prosperous times. It does not make decisions but can recommend improvements to how the Manchester Strategy, a shared vision for the city, is delivered.

Key areas of focus include economic growth, strategic transport, employment and skills, tourism, and neighbourhood regeneration. While the public cannot speak at meetings unless invited, they can suggest topics for investigation.
