Friends of Greater Manchester Law Centre

19 Jun 2015 - 10:05 by michelle.foster

Manchester needs a law centre. If people are committed then there will be a new law centre, owned by the community and providing high quality legal representation – for free.

In Greater Manchester there were eight law centres. Now just two remain. The city of Manchester itself which had three has become a law-centre-free zone. The Government wants to prevent access to justice and does so most effectively by removing the advice agencies that can deliver that access to those most in need.
