A tale of two Mayors…

Well done to Labour Mayor Andy Burnham who has today broken with Keir Starmer and Labour MPs and backed calls for a national r**e gangs inquiry.

We might be on different sides of politics but this just proves it shouldnt be a political issue.

A shame the same cant be said for our Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin…

Excessive revving of this BMW drew our attention on Leeds Road in the City NPT area. On stopping it, the driver was found to be uninsured and a provisional licence holder only.
Vehicle seized and driver reported to court.

🚨🏡One of the first major decisions Keighley and Ilkley’s next Member of Parliament will have to make is whether to support Labour-run Bradford Council’s “local plan”, which will decide whether or not over 3,000 new houses are to be built across our area in the coming years.

➡️ You can see how many new houses are planned for your area here: https://www.robbiemoore.org.uk/campaigns/protecting-our-greenbelt

🪧Over the past 4 and a half years, I have always stood on the side of local people on this issue.

🏡In places like Silsden, for example, where the total number of houses planned over recent years totals nearly 1000, I have led the fight alongside local people to oppose these new developments - our town simply cannot cope with the barrage of new housing developments being unleashed on our area by Bradford Council.

🫂If re-elected as your local MP on Thursday, 4th July residents should know that I will always have their back on this issue,

✅My pledge to you is that I will ONLY support new houses where the infrastructure to support them is properly in place, I will NOT support greenbelt development without significant local support, and where housebuilding does occur I will support a brownfield-first approach. I will also work with councillors of all political parties who agree with my approach on this issue.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Labour Party.

❌ Locally, Labour-run Bradford Council have ignored local opposition time and time again, pushing through new housing developments across our area - often on greenbelt land and in the face of thousands of local objections.

❌ Locally, Labour’s candidate is a strong supporter of Bradford Council. He supported their refusal of the referendum on keeping Keighley’s green space green and supported Bradford Council's failed Leader Susan Hinchcliffe to be West Yorkshire’s Mayor.

❌ And nationally, Keir Starmer has pledged to ‘bulldoze’ through local opposition to new housebuilding, employing more of the same tactics we have seen locally by Bradford Council.

✅The choice at the general election couldn’t be clearer.

Over the past 4 and a half years, I’ve met so many exceptional local people - who like to share their own story with me - so that I can continue to make our community even better.

Door knocking is definitely the best part about being a MP - something which I have done consistently throughout my time as your MP.

It was brilliant to meet Mrs Townend whilst door knocking - to share stories about farming - and swap pictures of our respective Ewes which both had 5 lambs! - of which Mrs Townend’s photo ended up in the Keighley News! It was very kind of Mrs Townsend to show me her newspaper clipping. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Not sure

Ever since you gave me the chance to represent you, I’ve made it my mission to be our most active MP in a generation I've learnt that real change within our community starts not from the top down but from the ground up - with local people first.
