On the security cordon.
Greater Manchester Police has just concluded this year’s Operation Protector. The operation is put in place whenever one of the major political parties holds an annual conference in the city.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare said: “Manchester has been host to the annual Conservative Party Conference since Sunday 29 September 2013.
“This has been a major security operation for Greater Manchester Police which has caused some disruption to residents, visitors and businesses across the city.
“We have worked closely with our partners to ensure that we struck the right balance between security and the day to day life of the City.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Manchester for their patience and support over the last week or so.”
Next year Manchester will host the Labour Party’s annual conference.
