MEGA MELA

On Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the Mega Mela staged in Platt Fields within the Fallowfield Ward.

Organisers have informed that over 100,000 people attended this two day event celebrating Asian culture. It was wonderful to see so many families from all walks of life having a good time.

VOTE BY NOON 31ST OF JULY

AND LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE

Councillor Mike Amesbury is urging tenants to use their vote to determine whether to set up a locally owned and controlled housing company.

Cllr Mike Amesbury said "I and my fellow Labour councillors are determined to bring in the necessary investment to both improve properties and the surrounding environment. A yes vote will bring millions of pounds into our area helping to create a better Fallowfield for all"

Back from Holiday

After an absence of two weeks due to my holidays in sunny Cuba ( no US embargo for me ) I'm back to blog news views and comments.

Free Kylie

Cllr Mike Amesbury helped to launch "Kylie the exhibition" on Friday at the Manchester Art Gallery. The exhibit consists of Kylie's performance wardrobe and has been lent to Manchester by the Melbourne Arts Centre. This will be a free exhibition and will run until the 2nd September. Cllr Amesbury said" I encourage as many Fallowfield residents and Mancunians to attend and see this wonderful piece of popular culture"

The first weekend alone saw over 1500 people viewing the costumes each day.
