TSL work hard to influence local decision making with local authorities and health partners. Recently, members have asked for TSL’s support in lobbying central government, and building relationships with MPs to influence the next government to ensure communities in Leeds are supported.

TSL has produced four key messages that we believe need to be heard at a national level. These messages will be shared with Members of Parliament, and TSL Leadership Group has a meeting on Friday 8 March with Leeds MPs Alex Sobel, Stuart Andrew and Hilary Benn.

If you have relationships or meeting with MPs or national decision makers over the next few months, we hope these lobbying messages are a useful tool to support you in this. We would love to hear about how you use them – please email megan.russell@val.org.uk to let TSL know.
