Out in sunny Wyke and Woodside

Another fantastic sunny day in Bradford South and I’ve been out and about in the constituency with some of the team enjoying the sun and talking to voters.

First stop was Sandale Community Centre in Woodside, where I was chatting to people at their Luncheon Club. The Centre is undergoing some improvement work, with a new Play Pod and a new secure play area. The Centre provides a valuable community resource and meeting place and is the base for the Woodside Neighbourhood Police Team (NPT), who hold One Stop Shops there on the second Tuesday of every month between 1.30pm and 2.30pm. As well as members of the NPT there are representatives from Housing to offer advice.

In the afternoon I was out with our fantastic Wyke campaign team, including Wyke’s 3 Labour Councillors, David Robinson, Sarah Ferriby and David Warburton, Labour’s candidate in the local election on May 6th. This picture of the 4 of us was taken at the Oakenshaw Fun Day last year.

This evening we’re back to Woodside for a bit of door knocking. For all the talk of the internet changing how politicians campaign, you can’t beat good old fashioned face-to-face contact on people’s doorsteps. Hope the weather holds for the rest of the campaign.
