Local groups in Makerfield will receive extra funding after part of an MP’s salary is set aside for community projects. Andy Burnham said on Friday he will give 15% of his parliamentary pay to local organisations, continuing a practice he followed during nine years as Greater Manchester mayor. Stubshaw Cross community and sports club will receive the first donation.
