What do you like most about Manchester?
It's a very vibrant city, there's constant change, generally for the better

What could be done to improve the local area?
To fully regenerate Denton town centre, once a very proud and thriving commercial and retail centre which has sadly declined with the rise of out of town shopping centres and different trade patterns. We're beginning to see the rejuvenation happen now.

Where do you like to go out?
Chance'd be a fine thing with a two year old son. When we can get a babysitter, a pizza and a film at Showcase cinemas Belle Vue
