Lunch & Learn Spotlight: Woodlawn Communications | Local Election Results & Political Change

Published On: June 24, 2026Categories: Events

A big thank you to Tom Martin of Woodlawn Communications for joining us at Spawforths for another insightful CPD session.

Tom provided an engaging update on the recent local election results across our region, exploring what the outcomes could mean for local authorities, political priorities, and the future direction of planning and development.

The session also examined current topics surrounding the Labour leadership, national political trends, and how evolving political dynamics may influence planning policy, decision-making, and investment over the coming years.

It was a thought-provoking discussion that highlighted the importance of understanding the political landscape and its relationship with the planning system, helping us to anticipate potential challenges and opportunities for our projects and clients.

We’re proud to have built a strong and longstanding relationship with Woodlawn Communications, whose expertise continues to provide valuable insight into the ever-changing political and planning landscape. Thank you again to Tom for taking the time to share his knowledge with the team.

We’re also looking forward to welcoming Tom as one of the guest speakers at the upcoming Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce Property Forum, proudly sponsored by Spawforths, on 1st July.
