Andrew Stokes, chief executive of Marketing Manchester, said: "The
high street suffered both a physical and economic blow as a result
of the disturbances. Their response has been a united one - quick
to join the 'I Love MCR' campaign and to help spread its message of
civic pride to their customers. The special offers and discounts
that have been provided as part of 'MCR Loves You' is a way of
thanking all Mancunians for helping get the city back to normal so
quickly."
Councillor Pat Karney, Manchester City Council's city centre
spokesperson said: "Mancunians already wear their hearts on their
sleeves, and now all they have to do to access some of these great
discounts is to wear them on their chests. I'd like to give a big
thank you to all the businesses who are taking part in this deal.
They're showing their appreciation for the amazing support they've
been given by Manchester residents, who have been out in force over
the past couple of weeks demonstrating the legendary spirit of this
great city."
The 'I Love MCR' campaign has been a symbol of the city's civic
pride and the Facebook group now has the support of almost 19,000
people. You can join the 'I Love MCR' campaign at:
