I’ve seen how putting health services in the town centre can transform a community, making it easier for people to get the care they need while increasing footfall.

We are currently looking at potential locations across our region where we can have the biggest impact.

I was proud to welcome Secretary of State Heidi Alexander to York Station to formally sign the Northern Powerhouse Rail compact 🤝

We are connecting our entire region, ensuring the benefits of NPR reach our communities from Skipton to Scarborough and Harrogate to Hawes.

I’m welcoming new powers to tackle pavement parking across York and North Yorkshire. No one should be forced into the road because a car is blocking their path.

Great to visit @VisionHarrogate recently to talk about this much needed shift to inclusive travel.

More people than ever before have told us how much more they would be prepared to pay through their council tax for police and fire and rescue services.

It's important to invest in our public services but we must get the balance right to keep the burden on local taxpayers low.
