The Mayor of Greater Manchester is a planned directly elected political post responsible for the strategic government of Greater Manchester, including health, transport, housing, strategic planning, policing and skills. The creation of the Mayor of Greater Manchester has been agreed between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Greater Manchester's 10 district council leaders, but requires new primary legislation. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is proposed to continue, but the Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner is expected to be rolled into the new mayoralty. The first election will take place on Thursday 4 May 2017. Tony Lloyd was appointed as Interim Mayor for Greater Manchester on 29 May 2015.
