Luke Campbell hits back

MAYOR REJECTS CLAIMS THAT HIS £1M COMMUNITY FUND 'DOESN'T EXIST'

- By ANDREW SPENCE

THE Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, Luke Campbell, has hit back at suggestions that his new £1m scheme “doesn’t exist.” Last week, the Reform UK Mayor announced what he called some “exciting news” as he unveiled a new Community Fund for the region.

Mr Campbell, who was elected as the region’s first Mayor and head the newly established Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) in May, took to X to announce the scheme which gives residents the chance to submit ideas for how the money should be spent. The Mayor added: “I've always said during my campaign that decisions are made for the people of this region but never with them. Let's change it together”
