David Pendleton Absolutely! Yorkshire has had a shape for over a thousand years. When devolution is supposed to hand decision making to local people, imposing a geography of governance upon the people of Yorkshire is an immediate failure to deliver devolution!

It's nearly here! Ten days to Filey Literature Festival. It's a bit coastal and it's a bit crackers. Welcome to Yorkshire The Yorkshire Post The Yorkshire Times Discover Yorkshire Coast #filey

🚨RMT response to Labour rail announcement 🚄
Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary said:
'The Labour Party's commitment to bring the train operating companies into a new unified and publicly owned rail network is in the best interests of railway workers, passengers and the taxpayer.

The #WestRiding of Yorkshire consists of a largely urban south and a rural north.

Some of the loveliest of the #Yorkshire Dales are in the West Riding, including Nidderdale and Wharfedale.

The West Riding stretches out as far as Sedbergh.
