Great to be in Stocksbridge with @MarieTidball to launch the new 35 hopper bus 🚌—helping people tackle the hills & restoring a Bolsterstone service after nearly a decade 👏 Big thanks to @OliverCoppard, Govt & @SouthPennineCT for helping make it happen!.
It was fantastic to officially launch the 35 hopper bus route in Stocksbridge with @benmiskell yesterday! It was extra special to have a turn in the drivers seat! . The full timetable can be found via this link here:

Loads of great events have been happening across Sheffield this month. @HeeleyCityFarm is right on the doorstep for many in my ward — and since 1981, it’s opened up a different world for kids and families. Brilliant to drop by the Heeley Festival and enjoy it with the community

We’re making a real difference in Sheffield—especially for the most vulnerable—by improving air quality. Since launching our Clean Air Zone (which doesn’t charge private cars), pollution has fallen and more people are switching to cleaner vehicles.

Exclusive: Doctors say clean air zones need expanding, after 45,458 visits in first half of this year – up from 31,376 last year

Kapital – Sheffield’s largest ever beer hall & restaurant – is now open, delivered by local independent @twothirdsbeerco in @Sheff_HoC2. Another fantastic addition to our transforming city centre – with rising footfall & a real buzz in the air this summer

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been elected co-chair of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel, alongside @RuthMilsom. We’ll be working together to make sure community concerns aren’t just listened to—but acted on. We’ve kicked off #NeighbourhoodPolicingWeek by questioning

Out in sunny Oughtibridge this evening with @MayorRos and South Yorkshire colleagues, campaigning for Josiah Lenton ahead of Thursday’s by-election. A great local candidate who’s lived here 30 years—I even taught him years ago in one of the local schools!

Great to drop in to the Eid Festival at Norfolk Heritage Park this weekend with @elledodd. A brilliant two-day celebration for all the family – with music, rides, delicious food and more. Fantastic to see thousands of people enjoying it across the weekend.

For those of us who got involved in politics through @LabourStudents, it’s fantastic to see the first Youth and Student Congress in a generation. NOLS – or Labour Students as we know it – has done more than any other organisation to bring working-class young people into politics.
This weekend @UKLabour hosts our first Youth & Students Congress in nearly a decade. My political journey started as a young Labour activist & I'm so proud we’re investing in the next generation. Read about my story and why our youth wings matter👇.

Kelham Pride has been a huge success this year, bringing thousands of people into our city to celebrate love, inclusion, and our incredible LGBT+ community. Brilliant to enjoy it alongside @_OliviaBlake and some of our fantastic city councillors
