COUNCIL bosses continue to make plans for Brexit as the future on the matter in Parliament remains unclear.
The town hall says a business group in the borough meet regularly to discuss the potential effects of the major political issue on companies in the area.
The local authority is also working with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to understand the impact of Brexit.
Professor Kate Ardern, director for public health at the council, said: "Ultimately with the current level of uncertainty no organisation is able to say with complete confidence what the impact will be nationally or locally.
“Our economy team is supporting local businesses, in partnership with the Manchester Growth Company, to help them understand the implications of, and prepare for Brexit.
"Our work to develop a new economic vision and strategy reflects the council’s commitment to creating a compelling offer for businesses and a resilient economy that can cope with external factors beyond our control such as Brexit or shifts in the global economy."
