Following ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill by the UK Parliament and European Union, the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020. A post-Brexit trade arrangement between the UK and EU was agreed on Christmas Eve 2020, and brings with it its own new rules and regulations.

Greater Manchester will continue to monitor the situation and take the appropriate action once the arrangements and impact are clearer. The following pages include important local updates, but are primarily aimed at helping people find their way to all the latest national information which may affect them. We will be regularly updating these pages, and if there is any further information you think would be useful, please contact us on news@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk.
