A Community Right to Buy was one of our movement’s flagship campaigns and a top priority at the last election. It was confirmed as policy in Labour’s 2024 manifesto. Now, it’s in the Bill. Thank you to everyone who helped make this historic moment happen.

The Bulwell Arts Festival is back! As ever I’m looking forward to the boat race tomorrow, which kicks off a week of events. Check out the whole schedule at the link below: onevisionpartnership.com/baf-workshops-…

⏰ Just one hour to go until our fringe event with Alex Norris MP, Cllr Louise Gittins, and Sally Longmate! Join us in Hall 1C at 17:15 for a key discussion on the future of local government. #LGAConf25
