Yvette Cooper MP visits Dewsbury Moor

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper MP visited Dewsbury Moor last month to discuss crime and other local issues with Councillors Karen Rowling and Mumtaz Hussain and also Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate Paula Sherriff.

During the visit Yvette walked around the area with the Labour team, meeting with local residents and PCSOs to find out what the main concerns are in the area concerning crime and anti social behaviour.

Yvette and Paula also discussed what could be done to support victims of crime, an issue close to Paula’s heart given her experience in victim support. Yvette praised the work already been done to support victims in Dewsbury, but pledged much better support for victims of domestic abuse if Labour win the next General Election in 2015.
