Manchester City Council has made the following statement regarding road closures for the Labour Party Conference:"Manchester is hosting its third Labour Party Annual Conference from 26-30 September 2010 at Manchester Central - the city's world-class exhibition and conference hub.
The success of the 2006 and 2008 Labour annual conferences meant that the organisers had no hesitation in returning to our city for a third time. Furthermore, they have stated that its 2012 and 2014 annual conferences will be held in Manchester .
More than 11,000 delegates and 2,000 media representatives will attend Europe's largest political conference and many will participate in the hundreds of fringe events being held within the convention complex and surrounding venues.
This conference is expected to generate more than £15.5 million of economic benefit for the region and increase the city's international perception as a quality conference destination.
Manchester's city centre will be extra busy during the five days of conference and roads close to Manchester Central and its surrounding hotels and restaurants will be affected.
Traffic and pedestrians will be diverted away from some streets and some buses will be rerouted."
