Yorkshire Party is currently trying to resolve difficulties they are experiencing regarding their domain, yorkshireparty.org.uk, which has resulted in their website and e.mail being temporarily inaccessible. Being aware of that position, as a way of extending the hand of friendship to a sister organisation, we have offered to help and are pleased to be able to do so by opening this blog as a channel of communication between the Party and its followers until a more permanent solution has been implemented.
Any communications received via this blog will be forwarded to the Yorkshire Party Executive for their attention and if approved by them, published in the comments below. Alternatively, you can e.mail the Leader of the Yorkshire Party at: bobbuxtonyorkshireparty@gmail.com
Dear Members and Supporters
Thank you to everyone who has already signed our Parliamentary Petition for a referendum on a Regional Parliament for Yorkshire.
The link is https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/559524
The 40% cut to Transport for the North’s budget announced this week reminds us why Yorkshire needs much greater autonomy than the mayoral-system can deliver. A regional parliament controlling our fair share of public spending can reinvent our transport and infrastructure.
We need a regional government focused on Yorkshire and democratically accountable to Yorkshire to rebuild our economy and create jobs in the wake of the pandemic.
Please play your part by:
Signing the Petition
Sharing the Petition on social media
Sharing the Petition with groups and societies
Asking family, friends, colleagues and neighbours to sign and share
10, 000 signatures are required for a Government response
100,000 signatures are required for a Parliamentary debate
The petition has started well with over 600 signatures in the first 6 days. If everyone plays their part we can meet our targets.
Yours Sincerely
Bob Buxton
Yorkshire Party Leader
Ps our website is up and running again after technical issues
