Great to share our vision for an affordable, seamless, multimodal transport network encompassing rail, tram, bus & bike options for West Yorkshire.
Today, I joined the DFT's Operator Conference to discuss the future of integrated transport and how devolution is key to unlocking its full potential.

Have your say on green spaces
West Yorkshire is famous for its beautiful green spaces.
And your views can shape a plan to help ensure trees and woodland are planted where they’re needed most, for communities to enjoy and to help make our region greener.

Time for water companies to be held to account. Prioritise your customers and not your shareholders.
Yesterday I spoke in favour of the water special measures bill and called for more to be done to make water companies act on flooding and to stop them digging up our roads. I also called out the Yorkshire Water bosses bonus youtu.be/Lciobr45o08?...
