Labour has been a shambles on Kirklees Council. The evidence is plentiful. The debacle over the Council breaking it’s promise to host the National Rugby League Museum in The George Hotel, the A629 road widening project which will see the felling of 126 trees on an iconic entrance way to Huddersfield, Labour Councillors backing the building of a modern hotel on Castle Hill, the site of an Iron Age hill fort and the Leader of the Council proclaiming he had encouraged the environmentally disastrous Amazon Warehouse development near Cleckheaton then denying later he had any view on the planning application. Leadership on Kirklees Council has been sadly lacking and the Labour Group seem unable or unwilling to address the problem.
