Leeds becomes a Marmot City!
We’re proud of the work we have done over the years to try to ensure Leeds is a city where no one gets left behind, but we also know there is more to do.
Collobrating with Sir Michael and his team will mean we are better placed than ever to achieve
I am delighted to announce that I will be the Deputy Executive Member for Children and Families. Over the years I have been the lead member for Child Friendly Leeds and Support for Early Years. To now take on more of a proactive role as deputy is both exciting and humbling.
This is a picture of my resident. We haven’t seen each other face to face due to Covid but keep in regular contact over the phone.
I visited her for the first time in 2 years. She told me she saves any articles of me & had this one neatly folded for over a year 😊
Eid Mubarak ✨🌙
The last two years were heart wrenching as we weren’t able to fully celebrate due to Covid restrictions.
Blessed to have seen through another month of Ramadan, campaigning and fasting was definitely a challenge and at times exhausting.

Harehills is so much more then what we witnessed last night, it is a vibrant and resilient community that takes pride in its area. A select few from within the area and outside attempted to cause chaos in our community. If you have any info please report to the police on 101.
Talking to

about the flexibility of the roving vaccine bus here in Leeds. The bus is very much data driven & aiming to reach communities with low uptake.
This week the vaccine bus is at Nowell Mount Community Centre from 10am -3pm.

Feeling overwhelmed by the lovely messages of support from everyone. This journey isn't mine alone, many wonderful indivduals along the way empowered and lifted me. Thank you ❤

@LeedsNews
talks about most expensive areas for heating homes.. when they refer to my ward Gipton & Harehills just look at the photo they use? As opposed to Harewood & Roundhay. There is so much more to G&H then a crime scene.. please do better next time.
Incredibly proud to announce last week the Covid-19 vaccination roll out in Leeds passed a huge landmark by vaccinating more than 250,000 adults.
Congratulations to Team Leeds who have really pulled together to achieve this.
A fitting farewell for
