Northern Mayors Launch Campaign for UK Olympic Bid in Liverpool and Manchester
Northern mayors seek UK Government support for a 2036 or 2040 Olympic bid to boost regeneration and economic balance, citing the region’s strong event-hosting record.
- Plans for a Northern Games could help rebalance the north-south divide and ensure a fairer national redistribution of major events, campaigners say.
- The Great North, a group of mayors and leaders across the North, have kicked off their campaign with a joint letter to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, calling on the Government to pledge to back any potential future bids being based in the north for a fairer redistribution of major events across the country.
- An Olympic and Paralympic Games would deliver a similar impact on a much bigger scale, through long-term investment which transforms our region and leaves a legacy far beyond the Games, according to the campaigners.
