My priorities include:
- Tackling the shortage of school places in North Leeds
Keith outside a new development
- Increasing the availability of affordable and council housing
- Seeking more ways to tackle homelessness and provide support and accommodation for rough sleepers in Leeds
- Continuing to deliver quality social care despite deep Tory cuts
- Working with youth and community groups to engage the whole community and make sure their voices are heard
- Protecting our environment through transport, energy, and business policies
As a councillor on Dacorum Borough Council I had a track record for getting things done including:
- Initiating and facilitating the creation of DENS, a homelessness charity providing emergency and move on accommodation for single homeless people
- Leading the implementation of projects to tackle long term unemployment including for young people, women returners, and people returning from mental health problems
- Setting up a neighbour mediation service and promoting the development of mediation to prevent youth homelessness as well as a schools mediation to tackle bullying in secondary schools, using young people as trained mediators.
