AMAZING news that Gascoigne House, Middleton has won this prestigious award. The transformative scheme has provided the community with affordable extra care spaces, a cafe, hair salon, green space, and the wider development has delivered over much-needed 100 new council houses. Proud of our teams!

Had a great time out in Gipton with the Labour team today, speaking with local residents and picking up casework along the way. It’s always good to hear directly from the community. If you live in Gipton or Harehills and need support, don’t hesitate to reach out – We’re here to help!

Excited to unveil a new mural at Banstead Park in Harehills, celebrating the community and nature. The mural, by street artist HazardOne, is part of a project to improve safety and welcome for women and girls. 🌳🦋🐝

Kicked off the New Year with the first surgery of the month at Compton Centre. Busy morning chatting with residents about housing and local issues.

Helping with our #SEND careers fair @leedsmuseums.bsky.social Leeds City Museum for #CareersForAll this afternoon. We know that if young adults have 4 different careers experiences, they are more likely to have positive progressions, even more important if they are #neurodivergent.

The festive season is here and as ward councillors were really pleased to be sponsoring the “Harehills Winter Welcome” & “Christmas Lights Switch on in Gipton” 🎄🌟💫🎅
