Today is polling day for the EU Referendum. Headingley Liberal Democrats have been campaigning hard for the Remain side, because we believe that Headingley, and all of the UK, is better off working together with our neighbours, rather than standing apart.

The EU allows us easy trading access to our nearest markets, opens up huge opportunities in study or work for our young people, makes it easy to travel, makes the UK attractive to international investors, and helps us to tackle cross-border issues like pollution and crime. And at a time when the effects of terrorism and financial crashes are now felt globally, it seems very short-sighted to isolate ourselves in any way from our nearest geographical and cultural neighbours.

We hope you’ll join with us in voting Remain today, to help keep Headingley safe and prosperous for the future.
