The franchise model is estimated to cost £135 million, although all revenue will be ploughed back into TfGM. The £135m, we reported in May 2021, would be funded through a combination of one-off local authority contributions, income from previous and future rises to the mayor's precept and cash returned by the government under Greater Manchester's devolution deal.

Very surprised at the cost of franchising. Greater Manchester must be rolling in it and have no funding issues in Childcare, Care homes, and obviously, unlike other local authority areas, have no potholes in the road!
