'ALL OF LEEDS UNITED IN SLAMMING UNFAIR DEAL' - MULHOLLAND

February 19, 2008 12:00 AM

Commenting following in a debate on Government funding to Leeds, called by the MP for Leeds East, George Mudie, MP for Leeds North West, Greg Mulholland, said all of Leeds was united in their criticism for a funding deal which will mean that Leeds will miss out on millions of pounds over the coming years.

Mr Mulholland said:

"Those elected to represent the people of Leeds of all parties, at every level, from Councillors to MPs in Parliament, are united - this deal is unfair, unacceptable, and will have a huge impact on the city.

"The loss of this funding will affect some of the poorest communities in Leeds, and the future for excellent schemes which have worked with these communities looks very bleak.

"If they didn't know it before, then following today's debate the Government is now aware of the strength of feeling in the city against these plans. It must urgently re-examine this issue and come up with a deal that is fair to the people of Leeds."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
