In my role as Member of Parliament, I try not only to campaign to improve our local area but also bring attention to charities and local community groups that do great work to support our area, and people in need.
Today I held my Faith Leaders Round Table via zoom with local faith leaders. I was pleased that so many faiths were represented, from Protestantism, Sikhism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism.
Really enjoyed visiting Bisq-It pottery painting studio in Churwell with Clifford, this fantastic new business opens tomorrow. Great for personalised Christmas gifts! Remember to book ahead for your socially distanced table!
Great socially distanced meeting with the Local Department of Work & Pensions team in Morley today. Huge positivity amongst the team here which is great to see and will help local people find jobs & reskill
I look forward to working with them to help local people!
These are difficult times for our high streets, and the Government is acting to support jobs and businesses across the UK. I have written to the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, asking him to consider a two-tier system of VAT.
I welcome the attached letter from the Minister of Housing, Communities & Local Government, Robert Jenrick MP, who has outlined that the £750,000 of Government funding for Morley, to help with levelling up communities and ensuring everyone benefits from economic growth, will arrive by the end
