Restoring faith in our politics by giving local people and groups ideas on how to work in partnership with our Council and Councillors to lift up our green public spaces. Local groups include One Community and Moonlight Trust and our current focus is on restoring nature in Batley, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Mirfield. 

Giving voice to the concerns of over 16.7 million workers in the UK by campaigning for a Labour government to deliver our ten point plan to support and grow local (small and medium sized) businesses across the UK. 

Making sure that our politics is working for people in my local community here in Kirklees by campaigning alongside businesses, colleges, MPs and the Mayor of West Yorkshire for the funding that will give our people access to new training and job opportunities. 

Creating the space for politics, business and society to work together and for people from a wide range of backgrounds to meet each other through my role as chair of the  Kirklees Diversity = Innovation. Our network is made up of local businesses and public sector organisations who pool resource to give marginalised local people access to new opportunities and representation.
