Andrea Jenkyns MP is calling for a public meeting for the different stakeholders of the Newmarket Stadium to come together, along with the people of Wakefield, to answer the questions: Why hasn’t a stadium been built yet? What will the different parties do to fix the issue?

Plans have been submitted to build 179 homes on Pitty Close Farm, Drighlington. This is in addition to the 42 homes already approved in Drighlington last year that the community needs to absorb.

Wakefield District Council are proposing to close the Stanley Community Centre and this will damage the community in Stanley. Local people will be stripped of a fantastic place for residents of all ages to socialise and enjoy recreational activities together.

Andrea and BusinessAndrea was brought up with an entrepreneurial background. Her Dad was a lorry driver who went on to set up his own transport company. Having also being self-employed herself, Andrea understands both the joys and challenges that businesses face.  

Transport links in our area need to be strenghtened.  Andrea has had calls from several residents asking for a central bus station, also our station in Morley needs some major improvements too.  She has been campaigning on these matters for some time and last year in June 2014, Andrea brought the Transport Minister Robert Goodwill up to our area to see first hand what improvements need to be made.

Our roads have suffered from underinvestment by the local authority. Here you can tell Andrea about problems on the roads in your area.

Andrea Jenkyns on how she is fighting for a better, more compassionate NHS

As a Euro-sceptic who like many others wonders; what are the true benefits of our relationship with the European Union. I decided to set about looking into two key areas and how it effects us locally.

Local Planning issues and the LDF (Local Development Framework) continue to cause concern. Andrea like many local people has deep concerns over the viability of the council’s Local  Development Plan.  She has been working closely with community groups for many months to ensure that our concerns are heard.
