This report lays bare what too many young people feel in their bones - a better future is out of reach due to a lack of fair opportunities.

We need an urgent reset that empowers local leaders to work with employers and educators to guarantee young people access to training and work.

Culture, heritage and sport turn places into destinations.

Whether it's arts, music, sculpture, sports or heritage - West Yorkshire's got it all.

At #UKREiiF, I joined industry experts to discuss the importance of culture in transforming our towns and cities.

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Our Local Growth Plan sets out a 10-year vision to create better jobs and build healthier, more connected communities.

At UKREiiF, I spoke with @DSkaith and @liamrobinson24 about what collaborative leadership really means for the North's future.

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

We know it should be a tram...🚊

Great to share our West Yorkshire investment opportunities with @RachelReevesMP at our #UKREiiF pavilion.

Although the Chancellor did have one significant change to make 👇
