Thanks to everyone who took part in last night's #placechat #NorthernPowerHouse. Still got something to say - we'd love to hear from you!

@Place_chat definitely although that’s upto us to educate that the ‘smoke’ isn’t the only city in the UK - @mediacityuk and #Manchester no1

@Place_chat it’s more about how the North can be London with a difference - stay chatty #NorthernPowerhouse16
That's all of this evening's #placechat we're still keen to hear from you so please do respond to any questions in your own time!
A quiet #placechat tonight. Hopefully many are getting on with building the #northernpowerhouse thanks to @housingthepower @patrimalkumar
How should #NorthernPowerhouse use #planning and #infrastructure to capitalise on its research strengths? #placechat
What can #NorthernPowerhouse learn from #London? Grt article on this via @emmerich_mike @metrodynamics metrodynamics.co.uk/blog/ #placechat
Thinking about your ideal #NorthernPowerhouse project… is it #HS3? #Whitehall of the North? #UKhousing boom. Something else? #placechat
Just 15 minutes left on tonight's @UKNorthernPower #northernpowerhouse #placechat plenty of questions to consider and some more to follow.
And what does #NorthernPowerhouse16 success look like – should we be talking @walsop ‘Super City North’ news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/… #placechat
We're agreed we need more housing.. Is there then too much focus on transport when it comes to #NorthernPowerhouse? #placechat

@Place_chat A few thousand empty homes in Gtr Manchester - pales in comparison to the 16,000 new homes we need each year.

@parimalkumar @Place_chat Lots of homes, but many in wrong place. Too many empty city centre apartments, shortage of family houses.
And does the North really have plenty of housing stock? I suspect many will disagree with this #ukhousing #placechat
Following comments from @patrimalkumar how do others feel about this? Is this time to get serious about #HS3 ? #placechat
Good points Patrimal @parimalkumar - so what do you make of Transport for the North in this context? #placechat
How would you like to see the #HS2 build start from the North? Wouldn’t that be truly symbolic of #NorthernPowerhouse ? #placechat
It's quiet out there tonight. Feel free to answer previous questions posted and I'll now put forward another... #placechat
