Our economy here in Sheffield and in the north needs investment. The Tories have failed to close the north/south divide and their no-deal Brexit will put jobs and livelihoods in Sheffield at risk.
Labour will bring key utilities back into public ownership to deliver lower prices, more accountability and a more sustainable economy. And here in Sheffield Labour is reversing years of outsourcing and giving our local economy the help it needs.
Olivia Blake said:
“Our local and regional economy has been held back for too long. I am proud of the work Labour is doing locally but we need a government that will invest in the north and address inequalities.
“Locally, I have led on bringing outsourced services back in-house, secured a local, ethical procurement policy and ensuring our council secured living wage accreditation.
“As Hallam’s MP I will champion an economy that rewards innovation, ethical business and serves the interests of local people.”
