Happy Yorkshire Day! 💚 We had fantastic time celebrating in Pontefract and Castleford today, enjoying the fantastic weather, and having a wonderful time celebrating our communities coming together. We hope you've had a great day too.

We are delighted that our motion to have our council utilise High Street Rental Auction powers that they have at their disposal was successfully voted through at full council yesterday. Amendments by Reform have diluted the scrutiny on the plan.

Boarded up shops left to rot are a blight on our high streets across the district. That's why, tomorrow, we're bringing a motion to council to make sure that our council finally puts to use the HSRA powers they have to do something about it.

Our biggest takeaway from the South Asian Heritage Open Day was how "top-down" the history of our district is. Most records tend to be official council records and which is less focussed on the human history of our communities. We encourage anyone with anything at home documenting the history of the

It was a great privilege to attend the South Asian Heritage Open Day at the West Yorkshire History Centre last weekend. The combination of records and artefacts on display painted a vivid picture of the history of our communities in Wakefield.

July is Disability Pride Month. Disability pride exists in memorandum of the struggle and loss disabled people have felt throughout history. But, also stands in celebration of the community, its strength and the progresses we have made.

Wakefield District Green Party welcomes calls to bring high streets in our city and town centres back to life. Green Party councillor, Kate Dodd, says: “This ambition will not be achievable, or visible to local people, without ending the scourge of empty, run down and boarded up shops across the

Dear Wakefield Reform, "WTF" is going on? Aren't you meant to be the champions of common sense and free speech? So why are you running crying to the police when district residents use a few hurty words to call out the poor administration of our council by certain cabinet members?

Pride Month has come to a close. But everything it stands for doesn't end with June. Support for, and solidarity with, LGBTQIA+ people across our district in these challenging times remains priority all year round.

Environmentalists in Wakefield have called out Wakefield Reform’s decision to undeclare the climate emergency. Read thoughts from local community groups and Wakefield District Green Party councillor Kate Dodd 👇️ www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/environ...

Wakefield District Green Party condemns Reform’s drastic scaling back of the school uniform voucher scheme which is set to impact around 30,000 children across our district. The Cabinet Member report on this cut, by Cllr. Matthew Caton, was for some reason not listed as a key decision, with the...

Today was the hottest June day on record. And our Reform led council in Wakefield has just "undeclared" a climate emergency. Help us fight against this nonsense - join us today. join.greenparty.org.uk

Soaring temperatures, schools planning closures, train operators advising people not to travel. These are just the headlines we're seeing today. What happens when these heatwaves get hotter year upon year? What happens when the daily UK headlines are crop failures, wild fires, and...

Across our district, every single one of our neighbourhoods has air pollution above the maximum levels advised by the World Health Organization. People with the respiratory disease asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease account for ~10% of district residents. And these diseases are

Today saw our first proper council meeting under our new Reform adminstration in Wakefield. And today has also seen our council vote to "undeclare" a climate emergency in Wakefield. This is nothing but gesture politics from a council leader who says he's fed up of gesture politics.

It is ten years to the day since Jo Cox was murdered. This should have been a day of reflection for us and one where our thoughts were purely with Jo's family. Instead it is a day where we have to deal with our party coordinator being confronted with threats like this.

Today marks the start of Refugee Week - a time for us to come together and celebrate the acts of courage uniting our communities. Always remember that we have more in common with people coming to Wakefield seeking safety than we do with any billionaires pointing the finger of blame at them.

Ensuring the correct support is in place for carers is essential to support them in doing the vital work they do. This is why the Green Party believes in offering a New Deal for Carers. Wakefield District Green Party campaigner, EJ, explains just how important this is.
