The MEN went to Harpurhey to speak to people about the upcoming general election

Harpurhey 's market culture could soon disappear, traders say. They're seeing less cash in their pockets every week.

“There are far fewer stalls . I’m not sure why there is no work but lots of people are on the social . "They have such expensive rents that they have nothing left for anything else. Housing needs to be sorted as these rents are ridiculous.” “Housing is ridiculous, the amount of homeless on the street is ridiculous. The kind hearted people in this area - who don’t have much themselves - are giving these people money, no way the government is helping them.

He said: “I’ve been here one year and have not had time to watch the news and keep up with what’s going on . I’m busy working, then I go home, get food and go to sleep. “I don’t like the current government. They’re for the higher classes and Labour are for the working man.
