I am calling on David Cameron to sit down with an all-party delegation from Salford, including myself and the city's three MPs, to see how we can work together to mitigate the worst effects of austerity, protect the most vulnerable residents in Salford and enable our city to continue to grow.

Under Mr Cameron's Government, the city council is being forced to make £81m of cuts to its services over the next three years - on top of the £97m of cuts already imposed since 2010. At least 1,200 jobs have been lost so far, vital services will disappear and another £94m will have been taken each year from Salford's economy because of the Government's benefit cuts and welfare changes.

Please sign this petition to ask the Prime Minister to meet with us to discuss the impact of the cuts, how we can best protect the most vulnerable in our city and how we can continue to bring investment into Salford.
