Political leaders in West Yorkshire and York have today urged Boris Johnson to commit £20m to help them develop the long-awaited mass transit system he promised during the General Election campaign.

The letter to Boris Johnson, published today, sets out the opportunities and challenges for the Leeds City Region in key areas, with specific requests for Government support on devolution, skills, transport, tackling the climate emergency and development of mass transit proposals.

It also asks the Prime Minister to recognise the significant pressures on local government and deliver a funding settlement which addresses that demand, particularly in protecting children and adult social care.
