Passengers are tired of Yorkshire’s creaking, Victorian rail network. It’s time to invest in our railways, improve connectivity and turbocharge growth. At UKREiiF, we spoke about the opportunities our plan to transform rail will bring. Mayor Oliver Coppard Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith

Our Young Poet Laureate programme is empowering young people In West Yorkshire to unleash their creativity. Fantastic to see the poems of Isabelle and Alina, our first Young Poets Laureate, on display at Bruntwood SciTech at West Village, Leeds. National Literacy Trust


This is Bradford's time.✨ We're bringing together creative film and TV producers, directors, and writers, as well as BBC, ITV, Channel 4, PACT, Screen Yorkshire, Bradford 2025 and Bradford Council. Together, we’ll put Bradford on the map for film and TV production.


Better connections boost growth and open up access to jobs, skills and investment. It was great to visit Manchester with Bee Network as we progress work to build a modern, reliable transport network here in West Yorkshire. It's time for trams and we're determined to deliver 🚋




Yorkshire's business leaders are clear - action must be taken to fix our broken rail network. From Leeds United (C) and Virgin Media O2 News, to The Piece Hall and Yorkshire Building Society, our region's heavyweights back us and are urging the government to invest in a modern railway for the North.



We’ve got big plans for a better-connected region and plenty to learn from our neighbours across the Pennines. Now it’s our turn to deliver. It’s time for trams in West Yorkshire.🚋 Judith Cummins MP Harpreet Uppal MP



Today Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed investment of £2.1bn to transform our transport network and get spades in the ground on trams by 2028. We have the funding and we’re ready to deliver.




It's time for trams in West Yorkshire. After the government's announcement of £2.1bn investment into our transport network, I spoke to BBC Yorkshire about our determination to deliver trams in Leeds and Bradford.


West Yorkshire’s world class culture and creativity inspires people and drives economic growth. It’s great to see the The Hepworth Wakefield campaigning to keep this national treasure in the region for future generations to enjoy. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

West Yorkshire is home to one of the fastest growing Health Tech sectors in Europe. Great to meet with Wes Streeting to discuss the innovations happening on our doorstep. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/health/wes-str…



Great to continue the conversation with Rachel Reeves about the benefits a tram network will bring to our communities, our job market, and our economy – in West Yorkshire and beyond. Because if growth is the question, better transport is the answer. 🚋
