92% of reported crimes go unsolved.

Too often, police are handed clear leads and fail to follow them up.

That must change. Crime must have consequences.

🅿️ “THAT IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE…”

✅ IT’S OFFICIAL: At a meeting of Leeds City Council's Executive Board on 22nd July, councillors formally accepted the recommendation to initiate a review of the incredibly unpopular District Centres Parking Charges policy - which includes Fink Hill Car Park. 🚗

🤦‍♂️ IT’S MIND BOGGLING, in some respects, to now hear that Labour councillors - including our three Horsforth & Rawdon councillors who voted to implement these charges, as well as voting to block multiple attempts to review and remove them - are now going on record to welcome this review.

🏛️ LET IT BE CLEAR: Had Labour councillors still held a majority in the Council chamber after May’s local elections, this review - full details to follow - would NOT have happened. Local councillors are simply taking the people of Horsforth and Rawdon for fools! 🤡

Leader of the opposition Councillor Alan Lamb (Conservative)called out the local Labour Councillors including those in Horsforth who are now claiming credit for getting this review but who voted to keep in place the parking charges the last couple of times this issue has been brought before Leeds City Council by opposition party's working together as "Absolute nonsense" at the most recent Full Council meeting.

🏠 Angela Rayner MP is back in charge of Housing.

That should concern communities like Horsforth.

It was Angela Rayner who introduced Labour’s “grey belt” policy and imposed significantly higher housing targets, putting increasing pressure on Green Belt land around our town.

Horsforth has already seen proposals come forward on green spaces that local residents value. Once these fields are built on, they are lost forever.

Yes, we need more homes, but not at any cost.

Your local Conservative team will continue to fight for a planning system that:

✅Puts brownfield sites before Green Belt land
✅Brings empty properties back into use
✅Ensures roads, schools, GP surgeries, sewerage and drainage are in place before development takes place
✅Protects the character of Horsforth and Rawdon, and our surrounding countryside

Development should work for existing communities, not be imposed on them.

Once our Green Belt is built on, there is no going back.
