manchestereveningnews.co.ukMen living in parts of north Manchester and Salford are two and half times more likely to die young than those in some of the richest areas of the country, a damning new report has revealed.
The former parliamentary constituency of Blackley and Broughton, which spans Charlestown, Cheetham, Crumpsall, Harpurhey, and Higher Blackley in Manchester, and Broughton and Kersal in Salford, has one of the highest premature death rates for men anywhere in Great Britain.
