I'm very pleased that progress has been made in the Outwood Memorial Hall vandalism case.

The below is from today's Wakefield Express. I'm glad I have been of help.

I will continue to monitor this situation and hold my regular Memory Cafes for residents in the Memorial Hall.

At Justice Questions Andrea asks the Minister: "What is the government doing to ensure tougher sentences for those who are found guilty of violent crime?"

I just met with the Minister for Policing, Nick Hurd MP to discuss the need for more police in our streets and stronger sentences for violent crimes.

Spencer and his business partner Paul from Morley and Outwood, set up the ‘Van and Tool Theft Awareness group’ on Facebook after being victims of tool theft from their vans.

Through their hard work they were able to track down one of these thieves who is now severing 7 years in prison.

It is in times of trouble that the best of our communities shines through brightest.

Today, Andrea raised the recent vandalism that occurred over the Christmas period at Outwood Memorial Hall in the House of Commons.

Andrea raised this issue during Home Office Questions to push for tougher sentences for those found guilty of such crimes. 

Firstly, I’d like to wish everyone a happy new year. I hope you all had a great Christmas and had fun!

Improving transport for our commuters and for the community is one of the key commitments of my plan for Morley. I am fighting to improve our roads, our rail, and our bus services for the residents in our local area.

I couldn’t be prouder of our Police officers, who particularly at this busy, festive, time of year, regularly put themselves in very difficult circumstances to protect us and our communities.

Across the country, and our region, crime rates are sadly increasing. In particular there has been an increase in both anti-social behaviour related offences, and violent crimes. This is a worrying trend and more must be done to fight back to keep crime rates low and our communities safe.
