East Riding Liberal Democrats will work cautiously with mayor Luke Campbell

Following the election of Luke Campbell as Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, the Liberal Democrats respect the new mayoral office and will work to make it a success for the people of Hull and East Yorkshire. We want to see the new funds used to bring in much-needed investment for business, growth, prosperity and jobs. 

There is a lot to be done in East Yorkshire - transport improvements, broadband improvements in the rural areas, more employment options for the coastal communities, build on the region's good start on renewables, make communities safer and much more. We are sure everyone agrees on this.

So, we start with a clean sheet - if the new mayoralty is used constructively for all of the communities of East Yorkshire as a vehicle for progress and prosperity, we will be very happy. 

We trust that the divisive politics of culture will not be introduced into our wonderful region and that all of our communities can feel a part of it going forward.
