Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 March 2026

Debate

Pothole Repairs: Strategic Road Network

Contribution

It is not acceptable for this Reform-led council to refuse to provide basic information to my hon. Friend’s constituents. As I mentioned earlier, 25% of Reform-led councils have been rated red—the lowest rating. It will not surprise my hon. Friend to hear that Labour councils have come out on top. I hope that her constituents will keep that in mind when they go to the polling stations in a couple of weeks.
