Higher Blackley is an electoral district or ward in the north of the City of Manchester, England. Voters from this ward elect three councillors to Manchester City Council. Currently all three councillors (Ken Barnes, Harold Lyons, Anna Trotman) are members of the Labour Party.[1]
Heaton Park, one of Europe's largest parks, is in this ward.
A brand new education village is currently under construction in Higher Blackley, including a state of the art learning resource centre containing a library and IT facilities with specialist facilities including Science, Humanities and English.
The intention is that the project will be occupied in stages, with Our Lady's RC High School and North Ridge SEN occupying the building by January 2009, followed by Meade Hill ESBD in July 2009.[2]
