00:00Hi I'm Theo and this is People on the Street. Today I'm out asking people of Manchester

00:04about their local government. Now there's a lot of great things that the local government here

00:08have done recently whether it's keeping the bus fare cap at two pounds which can help a lot of

00:13working people or even just investing in the B network in the first place but there are still

00:17some things that they pick up some criticism for so we want to know if people view their council

00:21as doing a generally good job a generally bad job and what's great and what they think they

00:25can improve. They've spent 365 million on the town hall but yet still they've got people

00:31in tents outside the town hall it doesn't that didn't quite work out with me. I live opposite
