Liberty is about the people and the communities they comprise being free from oppressive restrictions imposed by external authority. It is a joyful experience — a rush towards new possibilities. It’s the power of choice, the ability to dream without limits, and having the confidence to speak up knowing you will be listened to. From Liberating Yorkshire’s point of view, liberty is the realisation that life in Yorkshire is finally ours and is ours to shape without the constraints of the Westminster government.

Whether you’re a farmer in the Dales, a student in Leeds, a nurse in Hull, a retired steelworker in Rotherham, or a dreamer walking the cliffs of Whitby – your ideas matter, your stories, your struggles, your solutions are the lifeblood of this liberating journey.

Whoever you are, whatever your background or circumstances, please tell us how you imagine a liberated Yorkshire?
