EU Referendum As you will no doubt be aware, Stuart announced his intention to vote to leave the European Union, and his statement as to why can be viewed on this website. Stuart was always keen to hear the views of his constituents, and he invited them to complete a survey and contact him with any concerns or questions they may have had, as well as holding a public meeting in the constituency on the subject. It was never Stuart's intention to persuade any of his constituents to vote how he had chosen to.
Improving Local Transport As part of my six-point plan when I stood for re-election in 2015, I pledged to work to improve local transport across the constituency and the wider city.

In this role, I assisted the Secretary of State in the House of Commons Chamber, liaised with MPs, arranged briefing meetings and offered other such support.

Pothole Watch Potholes are becoming an increasing problem throughout our constituency and, whilst a nuisance, they can also prove to be dangerous, particularly in residential areas. I am therefore launching this campaign so that any concerned constituents can make me aware of potholes in their area, as this will then allow me to bring them to the attention of Leeds City Council and get the damage repaired.
