Collaboration is essential on our journey to become a net zero carbon region by 2038. 💚

Today, we hosted a finance roundtable as part of @YkSustainableWk, talking to businesses about how we can work together and invest in a greener future.

It’s absolutely right that this is the end of the line for Transpennine Express.

We’ve urged government to act for almost a year, as delays and cancellations damaged our economy and caused misery for commuters.

As the voice of passengers, I will continue to speak up for them.

Businesses can save money by supporting their employees to drive less and use active travel. The Travel Plan Network can support you with initiatives like the Enterprise Car Club and car sharing, or public transport discounts through M Card.

Northern mayors - including ⁦@MayorOfWY⁩ ⁦@TracyBrabin⁩ - meeting transport secretary over rail disruption - talking about this with ⁦@RichardStead⁩ ⁦@BBCLeeds⁩ soon https://t.co/JJHm2cKOFC

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

📢 This rail chaos is causing misery for millions and hammering our regional economy.

I’m looking forward to a constructive meeting with @Mark_J_Harper and my fellow Northern Metro Mayors later.

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Later today, Northern Mayors will hold crunch talks with the government as last minute train cancellations continue to cause havoc across our network.

Ministers need to get a grip of this situation and treat it with the seriousness that it deserves.

Ahead of Thursday’s Autumn Statement, I’ve written to @Jeremy_Hunt urging him against taking steps that would limit economic growth, bankrupt businesses and push more people into poverty.

Steve, who delivers milk across Yorkshire asks – why are these roadworks on minor roads and major roads being carried out at the same time? Is there backlog due to COVID or is this something else? It is stopping me from doing my job efficiently. @BBCLeeds

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

@BBCLeeds

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Andy asks - why do we have double decker buses on rural routes when they’re too big for the roads and they rarely carry more than six people? Its inefficient and bad for the environment. @BBCLeeds

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Ricky asks - BBC Radio Leeds is a lifeline for me, most days I will not see or talk to anyone. We are worried about our local BBC radio stations being cut off.

Why is local radio so important? @BBCLeeds

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

We do have an issue around violence in society and I do get it isn't all men but I would say to the men who are listening - please be our ally, please call out your mates on sexist behaviour. Just think if it was your sister or your mum and don't be afraid to speak up.
