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.

Following a 154 strong petition organised by Andrea with the support of local residents, the application to develop 8 two-bedroom homes, 49 three-bed and 27 properties with four or more bedrooms in Newton Hill has now been refused.

You can sign the petition below. You can also download a petition sheet to collect signatures offline. Please send or hand in completed petition sheets to Andrea's office at 62 Queen Street. Please return all petition sheets by 15th January 2016. Loading...

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.
