Q2  Councillor Golton to the Leader of Council :-

 

Does the Leader of Council share my dismay that despite having control of a £multi-million bus investment and subsidy budget, leadership of a supposedly innovative and ground-breaking ‘West Yorkshire Bus Enhanced Partnership’, and a close professional relationship with the Unite Union, the West Yorkshire Mayor has refused to use her position of influence to intervene and arbitrate an end to the Arriva strike which has adversely affected the lives of Leeds workers, students and elderly residents since June 6th in wards such as Rothwell, which are totally dependent on Arriva services, and has still not been resolved?
