Despite deep challenges faced, recent @LGA Peer Review of LCC's services and operations was full of high praise for our council as a "beacon" of "good practice". We have kept key services in house, paying our staff fairly, delivering front line services well #LeedsBudget23

Our in-house services deliver for our communities in ways that Tory- and Lib Dem-lead neighbours do not. Our Serious Environmental Crime Team has overseen an 18% reduction in fly tipping in Leeds, a clear departure from the national decrease of 4% #LeedsBudget23

In further contrast to nearby Conservative and Lib Dem/Green run councils, residents in Leeds benefit from a FREE bulky waste collection service, improving our neighbourhoods - in contrast to £46 in Tory-run Harrogate and £50 Selby, and £24 in Green-Lib Dem York #LeedsBudget23

RT @Leeds_Labour
We heard speech after speech from Tories pledging to privatise our in-house services, selling them to the highest bidder to extract profit and fail our communities. Does it ever work? No - so we commit to maintain some of the best in-house services in the country #LeedsBudget23

This year's budget has been the most difficult yet, with the Govt's starvation of funds to LCC now at 2.5 BILLION since Conservatives, then aided by Lib Dems, took control of the country in 2010. THEY have enforced another council tax rise on the residents of Leeds #LeedsBudget23

We're investing in housing for our communities - delivering 1,500 new council homes by 2025.

We pledge £333m over 4 years for council house refurbishments - energy efficiency and standards improvements, replacement lifts, and damp and mould prevention #LeedsBudget23

We will continue to pay the #RealLivingWage to all council workers including paying the uplift of £10.90 to care workers who are crucial backbone of our communities. We are working with key employers in the city to encourage them to do the same #LeedsBudget23

Tory leader Andrew Carter complaining about the 4% pay award that @Leeds_Labour has agreed with our staff's trade unions - at a time when the @Conservatives cost of living crisis is harming people's households and wellbeing the most #LeedsBudget23
