Remember the National Indicator Set for Local Government, circa 2006? It was an attempt to reduce the number of indicators that were reported on down from 1000 to 200. Govt depts had to lobby ODPM (as it was) to get stuff included. The cycle continues. – at North East, England

There are 399 different indicators local authorities are required to report against across 13 funding streams. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities is developing a simplified Indicator Framework that it will publish "later in the year": gov.uk/guidance/local-growth…

Not as good as my "duck billed platypus" explanation of the school funding system c 2010.

I am relieved that the government – at the eleventh hour – has finally stepped in to support buses, as Metro Mayors urged them to do last week. We need a sustainable, long-term funding plan. The government has bought itself time to develop this and I hope they don’t waste it.
I’m relieved that the government has finally listened to the Mayors and taken action to stop some bus services from being axed in our regions. But this eleventh hour response has come too late for some communities, with some bus operators announcing further cuts to services today. We need a sustainable, long-term funding plan to save buses across the UK, not a sticking plaster. The government must address this immediately and use the time it has bought with today’s announcement to make real change.

I visited @RealiseLE’s bus driver training facility - the first scheme to receive funding from our Adult Education Budget. It’s great to see devolution working, improving people’s lives, and helping to tackle the shortage of bus drivers in WY. 🚌 ➡️ ow.ly/UTOk50MVsEM

I spoke to @BBCBreakfast this morning after TransPennine Express cancelled over 600 services last week. They’ve proven they are not up to the task, so it’s now time that they hand the reins over to someone who is. It can’t be that this government continues to reward failure.

The far-reaching implications of the cost-of-living crisis impact communities, including the staff we work alongside. We know that financial hardship affects people’s mental and physical well-being. We are working together with @MayorOfWY More at bit.ly/wyhcpap22
West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, the Mayor of West Yorkshire and West Yorkshire Combined Authority set out their commitment to support people through the cost-of-living crisis. Ensuring mental health and suicide prevention services are providing the appropriate support.

I’m proud of the way people in our region have come together to help each other this year, as we face a painful cost of living crisis. Read my end-of-year thoughts here 👉 ow.ly/UJvw50MeIRM

Our true resilience shines through when we come together - Tracy Brabin

The fact that Martin Lewis – the Money Saving Expert – features on the UK’s Christmas number one single just about sums up the unexpected twists and turns this past year has thrown at us.

I’ve spoken consistently about the need to tackle stalking - the slow death. As the first woman metro mayor, I’ve supported @VS_WestYorks with over £450,000 for a Stalking Advocacy Service. For #16DaysOfAction I spoke to professionals about the service. westyorks-ca.gov.uk/policing…

Unlimited regional public transport across Germany will cost €49/month next year. The digital 'Deutschlandticket' will be available on a monthly basis from January. Aim of the '€49-Ticket' is to cut C02 emissions and help people with the cost of living.
