Leader of Trafford Council, Cllr Sean Anstee, said: “Having Greater Manchester on this list provides support in facing the challenges of the future.
"Already the authorities of Greater Manchester have come together to ensure we are all working to bring investment and improvement to the area. Inclusion on the list is confirmation of these efforts.”
