I&#8217;ve proudly called this town home for 20 years, living in the heart of our ward with my wife and two boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work for a local company, and my children local schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Manor resident, I understand what makes our area special and where improvements are needed. Since being elected, I&#8217;ve continued with the rest of the Manor Labour team for regular litter picks because action speaks louder than words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woodbank Memorial Park and Vernon Park are gems of our community, and I\u2019m committed to fast-tracking their improvements, starting with playgrounds at Woodlands and Woodbank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tackling anti-social behaviour is a key priority. I&#8217;m working closely with the police, schools, community groups, and the council to find long-term solutions that make our neighbourhood safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affordable housing remains one of my main goals. I&#8217;m pushing for more housing options across the borough, ensuring these developments include the essential facilities that residents need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter your political stance, I&#8217;m here to represent you. Feel free to reach out through the contact details on this site, and I look forward to continuing to work hard for Manor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I&#8217;m Jon Byrne, your Labour Councillor for Manor in Stockport.
