Last night, Yorkshire's three Mayors met with Transport Secretary @Heidi_Labour to champion our ambitious plans for enhanced rail connectivity and integrated transport. Discussions focused on accelerating the delivery of crucial upgrades that will positively impact the lives of communities across Yorkshire and strengthen national growth. We've commissioned @LordBlunkett to undertake a comprehensive review of rail connectivity across South, West, and North Yorkshire. As we mark 200 years of the modern railway, we are committed to building a future where seamless and efficient rail travel unlocks opportunities for all across Yorkshire and beyond.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the passing of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act. This groundbreaking law - described as the "people's charter for the open air" - led to the creation of the UK's first National Park, the #PeakDistrict! 😀 @uknationalparks
