Are you registered to vote?

Changes by the Conservative-Lib Dem Government have resulted in thousands of people - many of them students - not being registered to vote.

You only have until the 20th April to register, so go to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote now, or if you need help, contact City of York Council.

The Hull Road Labour team and local volunteers were out on Saturday 11th April encouraging residents to check they are registered to vote.

Great response for Labour candidates in Tang Hall!

The complete Labour team of local candidates and parliamentary candidate were joined by retiring York Central MP, Sir Hugh Bayley for an evening door-knocking session in the heart of Tang Hall.

York Central MP candidate Rachael Maskell and Hull Road ward candidates Neil Barnes, Hilary Shepherd and David Levene were overwhelmed by the fantastic support for Labour in the area.

Issues raised included the rising cost of living, housing and the future of the NHS. Residents were pleased to be able to wish Sir Hugh all the best for the future and to welcome Rachael and the local election candidates. Several 'Vote Labour' posters will be on their way to the area!
