CASTLEFORD DAILY BRIEFING 27 MAY 2025

 CASTLEFORD DAILY BRIEFING - TUESDAY 27 MAY 2025

Compiled by Tony Wallis


Every morning, to make my work as a local councillor more efficient, I search the web for a daily briefing of news and events. While it was originally for my benefit, I’ve realised it is a service to share with others. It is a briefing so just headlines and sources I’ve come across and checked. Unless stated otherwise, all links are external and connect to sources not produced by me.

Please let me know if there are any events or news you think I need to add. Contact details are on the home page of this blog. 

Regards, Tony.
