Sheffield is on the up & @OrchardSquare is another example of @SheffCouncil ’s commitment to creating a city centre we can all be proud of. We invested £650k to give it a facelift to host events & a further £340k to open up the upper floors into much needed homes 🏡. Check it out!

Thank you to residents of Park and Arbourthorne for once again putting their trust in me to serve our community. Now the hard work continues (after an evening off to celebrate my 40th birthday).

We’re waiting for the PM to live up to her promises & step in to save @DSA_Airport . Contrary to what @annietrev says, our airport is far from unviable. The Tories should be siding with the people of South Yorkshire, not giving faceless businessmen at Peel Holdings a free pass

Sheffield city centre is on the up, and Marmadukes is one of its success stories. Great to meet with @MarmadukesCafe 's founder, Tim Nye, to discuss @Sheff_HoC and talk about how @SheffCouncil can work with businesses to drive further regeneration 🤝 🏗️ #SheffieldIsSuper

We’ve been out in #Stannington today doing welfare checks with @_OliviaBlake . There’s huge frustration at @YorkshireWater - a firm that paid more than £3m in exec bonuses, despite leakages running at 283.1 million litres per day. Years of neglect & residents are paying the price

I have served the public my whole adult life, as a teacher and local councillor and now I’m ready to serve as our MP. I was born in Rotherham and grew up here under the Tories in the 1980s. I saw how Thatcher destroyed our lives and now the Tories are at it again

📸🌳 Take a look at this fantastic before and after comparison by @min_esh ! It's inspiring to see what can be achieved when we prioritise reclaiming space for recreation and play in Sheffield. Pound's Park is a shining example of successful regeneration in our city centre! 🎉🏞️

I’m disappointed with the msg that @FirstSouthYorks are sending to LGBT+ & Muslim communities in our region. Carrying adverts from Trump ally @Franklin_Graham who makes homophobic & islamophobic remarks isn’t acceptable. Write to their MD to complain Janette.Bell @firstbus .co.uk

Data shows that my ward is now Sheffield’s most deprived. Many families are facing a bleak Xmas. This is poverty made in Downing Street and it doesn’t have to be this way. We need urgent action from government to genuinely level up Arbourthorne. 📰 Article in @SheffieldStar

We're proud to use locally-sourced materials. A large amount of the stone comes from a Huddersfield quarry, supporting local businesses and reducing environmental impact. 🌍

A Labour majority council, working with a Labour government achieved so much in 1997. We will again. It’s time to send a message to Rishi and his pals down in Westminster and bring hope back to communities in Sheffield

Traffic pollution contributes to 12% of childhood asthma cases in our city. We’re investing £1M from CAZ into a new Clean Air Investment Fund. Our focus is clear: safeguarding our children's health by improving air quality on their school routes🌿💨
