Leader of Kirklees Council, Councillor Robert Light

The Leader's Office - June 2007
the.leader@kirklees.gov.uk

It is a tremendous privilege to be the Leader of the Council - it comes with the responsibility of running a multi million pound organisation and being accountable to 400,000 residents.

Since we have been running the council, the Conservative administration has implemented many initiatives - to name a few: the Kirklees Youth Games for our youngsters, Council Tax discounts for our pensioners, and Warmzone Plus for everyone.

We have also developed a four part ambition for the council to strive to achieve - Kirklees to be Diverse, Young, Green and Economically Strong. Our ambitions are detailed in full elsewhere on the council's website on the Big Picture so I will not dwell on them here.

It is my aim as Leader, and the shared aim of the Conservative administration, to provide value for money - that means high quality services run efficiently without excessive Council Tax increases. At the same time we want Kirklees to be a vibrant place for our residents to live and work, attractive for visitors encouraging them to return, and safe for all.

I want Kirklees to be the best run council, delivering the best services for the people of the borough. Kirklees is a great place, constantly improving and has a council committed to meeting the future challenges of the borough.
