This collection, coordinated by the Northern Police Monitoring Project (NPMP), examines the proposed £14.4 million police precept increase in Greater Manchester and raises concerns about both the democratic process surrounding the consultation and the continued expansion of policing despite sustained public opposition. Bringing together contributions from the Greater Manchester Living Income Campaign, a local community centre, Kids of Colour, Migrant Justice Manchester, and the Manchester Women’s Justice Collective, the collection outlines how the same funds could be invested in community-led initiatives that address the root causes of harm. NPMP is encouraging members of the public to vote against the proposed increase.
