🥊 Lindholme 🥊

🚧 Fixing Westwoodside Potholes 🚧

Earlier this week, I visited Tindale Bank Road in Westwoodside after hearing from constituents about its poor condition.

After seeing the issues firsthand, I’ll be working to get the sign repaired and the potholes fixed as soon as possible.

To see the personal reasons behind my decision, please watch my YouTube video.
