Step in the right direction, wise words from our WY Deputy Mayor

[West Yorks Dep. Mayor for Policing & Crime @DeputyMayorPCWY]

Rehabilitation is key to breaking the cycle of reoffending.

I went to the opening of the ‘Departure Lounge’ at HMP Leeds- a space for those leaving prison to access resources & support to move forward in in life.

The approach is helping to make our region a safer place 👇

My recent visit to the First Bus Depot to learn about new electric buses & charging infrastructure. A great example of joint investment & partnership working @WestYorkshireCA

Some amazing creativity coming from the children at Holy Family Primary School in Armley. Just look at this ‘lightning’ bike. Which generates enough power to fly. The sky is the limit keep those ideas coming.

Today’s engagement was with @NewWortleyCC women’s group. Their ideas included a ‘sport bike’ that carried equipment and had lights and a chiller. Floodlit tournament anyone?
