Hey @Conservatives what’s going on here?

You suspended this candidate nearly 2 weeks ago for antisemitism allegations but your local volunteers are using these today?

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

This is really disappointing by Peterborough Conservatives.

This candidate was suspended nearly 2 weeks ago - antisemitism concerns - but locally the are still using Conservative branded materials

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

Ishfaq Hussain was suspended by the Conservatives over 10 days ago.

Disappointed to see local Tories still delivering Conservative branded materials for him in recent days.

Is something fishy going on with the Mayor's free parking plans?

We were promised £1.5 million now it turns out to be £470,000 this year.

And despite 3 offers from the council - making no profit - we are no further forward.

Instead we have delays. It's time for the Mayor to be clear about funding and who is paying.

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

This is possibly the worst decision made in 24 years of Tory rule in Peterborough and there’s stiff competition.

🚨 Revealed - £2 million Tory mess in Peterborough.

Tory council paid through the nose - over £4 million - for TX Maxx building using Towns Fund money then decided it wasn't suitable.

Building now sold for nearly half the price - £2 million of public money lost.

For the love of Lidos. The history of our Lidos say something about the things we value in our communities. They are also a powerful statement about what we want to value for the future.

This was special today. Joining the team to officially open our 5th Family Hub in Peterborough.

A brilliant partnership between a Labour Government and council to help families and children.

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

It’s all about Lido’s today.

And a chance to show a bit of love for Peterborough Lido as it gets ready for its new season this weekend.

Happy 90th anniversary ❤️🏊🙏

I visited these great students at Highlees Primary School recently.

Highlees is the next school in Peterborough to get a Labour government supported breakfast club.

Good for parents, students and learning.

Great to join @coopuk team in Peterborough City Centre today to talk about food waste & recycling @CoopParty

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

At long last!

The CCTV at the Chadburn Centre is finally working again. I visited with the neighbourhood police team to take a look and chat about policing priorities.

Thanks to councillors, police & residents for raising this with me 🙏

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

Really pleased to see a packed house at the Allia Centre today to discuss online safety for young people. Great to see so many young people part of the event as well.

I started the day at Bushfield Academy with @bphillipsonMP for the launch of the Education White Paper.

It was brilliant Peterborough was picked for the launch. Our schools are on the up.

And we have so much ambition for our city to fix broken SEND system & improve standards.

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

A brilliant day meeting apprentices at Gen Phoenix with @PboroCollege as part of National Apprenticeship Week.

This is my political drive - boosting apprenticeships & giving young people & career changers the opportunity to get on.

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

I’ve called on Cross Keys Homes & Peterborough Council to end the delays & get on with redeveloping Bretton Court.

Thanks to everyone who has been i touch about the issue. This has become an eyesore and needs action.

[Andrew Pakes MP @andrewpakes_]

Brilliant to see @peterboroughtel getting behind our City of Culture bid.

This is our time to shine.

Let’s soar with ambition. Great to see Peterborough has entered the UK City of Culture 2029 competition.

We don’t say it enough but Peterborough is a city with a remarkable story, shaped by history, migration, industry and creativity.

It’s time to shine.
