Baroness Bev Hughes, the deputy mayor of Greater Manchester, announced today she's stepping down from the role early in the new year - with current Stretford and Urmston Labour MP Kate Green set to replace her.
She's been serving as deputy mayor, under mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, since 2017. Mrs Hughes, 72, was previously the Stretford and Urmston Labour MP from 1997 to 2010.
