The sun was shining on our campaign session in Outwood this afternoon - thanks to Michael Graham for lending a hand delivering Cllr Matthew Morley manifesto. 🌹 #LabourDoorstep

An extraordinary meeting was held to appoint the new Chief Executive today.

The Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Independents all walked out.

They can’t be bothered to fulfil their basic duty to vote on behalf of their residents on the only item of business on the agenda.

Fantastic news and well deserved Chris Kamara 👏👏

Happy Bengali New Year to those celebrating here and across the world.

With Labour, communities will be able to take back control of their buses. We will:

✅ Empower local transport authorities
✅ Support public ownership
✅ Speed up the franchising process

This could create and save up to 1,300 bus routes & allow 250 million more journeys a year.

NEW: The Labour Party plans will breathe new life into our high streets.

Only Labour in power can deliver for our communities both locally and nationally.

Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, and always, Labour stands with trans people. #TDOV

Happy Easter to Christians celebrating in the UK and around the world!

Great news coming from the Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire today, announcing
that she will be bringing buses back under public control. 🚌

Your Wakefield Labour Group Cllrs have supported this campaign from the start and welcome this decision. 👏

Only Labour in power can deliver positive change. 🌹

Great to be campaigning in Wakefield South for Shabaan Saleem this evening.🌹

Work is nearing completion on what will become a new nature recovery area at Newton Bar 👇

Once complete, it will create a public open space for people to walk though or sit and enjoy its surroundings 🌳 🌺

It will also improve biodiversity and attract wildlife 🐝

⬇️ Cllr Denise Jeffery, Leader of Wakefield Council, joins Leaders right across the country calling for the Household Support Fund to be extended beyond March 2024.

This will significantly boost our capacity to support those who are facing hardship ❤️

14 years of neglect from the Tories.

Councillors from every political party across the country are calling out the disastrous impact of underfunding of local Councils by the Government.

We’ll continue to safeguard and provide vital services that our communities rely on.🌹

We thought it appropriate to highlight some important aspects of the budget we have just passed for 2024/25.

Sadly all opposition members, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Independant voted against it.

Your Labour run council will continue to deliver for the district. 🌹

Under the callous Conservatives, schools across our district are £37.2m worse off.

They simply do not care.

The Conservatives are out of touch nationally and locally.
