From the editor...
Harry Benbow
Welcome to the May edition of
Mancunian Matters e-zine! I’m guest
editor for this issue, with an amazing team
of sub-editors pulling the strings behind
me and doing all the hard work. It’s been a
hectic month in the city, with elections for the
mayorship and local councils, the reopening of bars
and restaurants and all the unstable weather that comes
with spring in Manchester (shorts and an umbrella
weather?!) We’re delighted with the work our dedicated
reporters have produced for this issue, and I hope you are too.
With the end of restrictions visible on the horizon, it looks like
we’re due an unforgettable summer in the best city in England.
