Had a brilliant day with @CoopParty in Settle - people here are leading the way on putting their community first. I want to see that all across York and North Yorkshire, so it was great to see the difference it is making in Settle.
Settle is pioneering a community-first approach โ but it shouldn't be the exception. We visited Settle with Co-operative Mayor @DSkaith to see the difference putting your community first makes.
