Probably should dig up the statement, but to me it sounded like that is exactly what they were planning over the coming years and its what the mayor of manchester seemed to be getting all giddy about.

It appears that the 400 people from Wilmslow will move to Manchester (well, it is practically Manchester), so those might count towards the 1000 planned.
But it says new jobs, and since Wilmslow is practically Manchester its a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
