Key:  Additions   Deletions
Who is looking after Levenshulme?We are a group bringing together local residents of Levenshulme who believe that our community is not getting the support it deserves from our elected representatives.

We campaign for investment and development and also over specific issues such as the closing of post offices, the running down of our swimming pool and our lack of a community center.

We are fully independent of any political party and open for all to get involved.
