Andy Burnham

I emailed his office aboutbthe cost of travel for young people in manchester on the trains. For my 16 year old Son to get to media city college from cheadle hulme is £35 per week , he washes pots on a sunday for £20 in a pub. Only discount is to use the train after 10am and before 3pm.. handy.

The AnyBus 1 Day Travelcard available for 16-18 year olds on production of a valid form of ID was instituted by Burnham and is £2.80

There's ~1.2 million houses in Greater Manchester charging £8 on average. This is £9.6 million. Burnham's wages, of which 15% go straight into a homeless fund, is £110,000.

Burnham's salary without the homeless fund deduction is 1.1% of the money.

You are not factoring in his staffs wages/pensions, office hire/purchase, office costs, vehicles. The whole thing is an expensive circus and we are the ones paying for it. I find it strange that we could vote for a mayor from a number of candidates but he can chose his friends to run important roles, it is a bit like FCUM who appointed their mates to run the club, look how that turned out.
