Work to extend the Cottingley Playground started today! Exciting. 👊
Unfortunately that means it will be closed for 6-8 weeks while work is being done. Looking forward to it reopening!

Good to be in IIIG scrutiny talking about important issues in our city. I asked questions on:
🏠 affordable housing and the delivery of affordable housing
📊 unemployment and how people may be employed but in precarious work so still looking for jobs.

Really good to see a significant police 🚔 presence (inlcuding sniffer dogs 🐕) in Cross Flatts park today; they're taking action following concerns about drug dealing.
Cross Flatts park is an important community asset and needs to remain safe for all.
