## Resource

Calderdale Council is poised to exit the Local Authority of Sanctuary scheme, a move championed by the newly elected Reform UK administration arguing that the program imposes financial strain on overstretched local services and that immigration policy should be a national, not local, responsibility. The council, once celebrated as a “Valley of Sanctuary,” joined the initiative last year, but now faces tough choices as it prepares to debate this motion alongside other key proposals—including Labour’s water quality plan and the Greens’ human rights guidance—at a crucial meeting on July 22nd. The decision could reshape how Calderdale balances compassion with fiscal responsibility. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
