Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party Taking Pride in Our Communities
Here’s eight things Labour’s Plan for Change has delivered this week:
💷Held the Spending Review which is investing in Britain’s renewal. That means more money to secure our borders, record investment into our NHS, and new infrastructure to kickstart the economy.
🏠This includes the biggest boost to affordable housing in a generation. £39 billion is being invested in social and affordable housing to build the 1.5 million new homes this country needs.
🚌The £3 cap on bus fares is being extended, putting more money back in your pocket.
🏥NHS waiting lists have fallen to their lowest level in two years, with nearly a quarter of a million off NHS waiting lists since July.
🏭The biggest nuclear building programme in a generation will create 10,000 new jobs, provide energy security, and bring growth to all corners of our country.
💻A national skills drive will see 1 million secondary school students given the skills and tools needed to get the AI-powered jobs of the future.
📜The outdated Vagrancy Act will be scrapped, decriminalising rough sleeping for good.
👨🏭A £500 million boost for hydrogen infrastructure will secure thousands of jobs across our industrial heartlands, and secure homegrown energy to power British industry for generations to come.
Change is happening. Every week things are getting better. Others talk about levelling up. The Labour government is doing it. Action speaks louder than words.
