Troops will be on the streets of Kirklees in the coming weeks as mass Covid testing is rolled out. And the borough’s four MPs and political leaders are hopeful that already falling infection rates will tumble still further as a result on community testing. MPs Barry Sheerman, Jason McCartney, Tracy Brabin and Mark Eastwood joined leaders of the five main political groups to respond to Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s announcement that community testing is imminent. The MPs along with Shabir Pandor (Labour), David Hall (Conservative), John Lawson (Lib Dems), Andrew Cooper (Greens) and Charles Greaves (Holme Valley Independents) together make up the Outbreak Control Board (OCB).
