Keep Plymouth Kind

Plymouth is stronger when we look out for each other. Say No to Hate. Keep Plymouth Kind.

Keep Plymouth Kind will focus on something simple: standing up for decency, community, and respect in Plymouth - and calling out hate when we see it. This isn’t about party politics. It’s about the kind of city Plymouth is, and the kind of city we want it to be.

Plymouth Knows Better is becoming Keep Plymouth Kind. Here’s why 👇

🚨 BREAKING: Plymouth has voted NO to a city mayor. Voters saw through this failed, costly experiment and chose to keep the current system. Plymouth Knew Better. Full statement here: facebook.com/NoCityMayor/po…

Polling stations are open until 10pm today. Today you can show that Plymouth knows better than to fall for costly city mayor experiments that have failed in city after city across the country. It’s time to draw a line under this costly vanity project. Vote NO.

£410,000 wasted. On vote they always knew would be scrapped. It’s time to send a message. This referendum is a waste of time and money. Vote NO to draw a line under this sorry saga. Vote NO TODAY.

Some numbers before Plymouth’s referendum. Since 2000, there have been 63 refs on local authority mayors. Of those, only 22 voted yes. Of those, only 13 have kept DEMs. Last time Plymouth was asked, no won with 42811 votes vs 29559. I hope we vote @NoCityMayor again tomorrow.

The Govt is scrapping city mayors - but one millionaire with property interests is making Plymouth pay £410k for a vote anyway. Voting NO on 17 July sends a message: our city isn’t for sale, and democracy shouldn’t be shaped by the wealthy few.

@mkocziban @FredThomasUK @CharlotteHollo Hi - whilst we have wound down campaigning since the Government outlined how city mayors will be scrapped, we are still encouraging those who feel strongly to vote No on Thursday 🙏

@FredThomasUK @CharlotteHollo should I still turn up to the polls on the 17th to vote 'No' or will they be cancelled? @NoCityMayor

£410,000 of public money has been spent on a pointless referendum for a city mayor role that the Yes campaign knew was being scrapped. This Thursday, vote NO to this waste - and help Plymouth draw a line under this saga.

Let's move on together, Plymouth. In light of the recent Government statement confirming how city mayors will be scrapped, read our statement on what this means for the referendum and the Plymouth Knows Better coalition. facebook.com/photo?fbid=122…

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: NO NEW CITY MAYORS 🚨 The Govt has confirmed no new city mayors will be created - making this referendum totally redundant. Mr Forbes knew this was coming but pushed ahead anyway, wasting time & public money. He should apologise. 👉 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

📮 Postal votes are landing – and this is a gamble Plymouth can’t afford. No powers. No money. No plan. Even the government wants to scrap City Mayors. Why risk chaos for nothing? 🗳️ Vote NO on July 17 #PlymouthKnowsBetter #NoCityMayor

It’s been over three weeks since multimillionaire Angus Forbes - the backer wanting a costly, failed “City Mayor” experiment in Plymouth - was challenged to a public debate. The question remains: why won’t he put his mouth where his money is?

📮 Postal votes are landing from today. This £410k referendum was led by a millionaire who called Plymouth “sensational real estate.” ❌ Costly + Failed elsewhere ❌ No plan, just spin ❌ Govt wants to scrap them Don’t fall for the fantasy. #NoCityMayor #PlymouthKnowsBetter

❌ A city mayor won’t give Plymouth more power or funding. 🚫 It’s a costly outdated model, already scrapped by other cities. Let’s protect what makes Plymouth special. #VoteNo on 17 July. #PlymouthKnowsBetter

💚 Plymouth’s got heart, soul and serious potential - but a City Mayor isn’t the way forward. We’re backing a better future built on community, not costly experiments. Here are 6 reasons to vote NO 👇 🗳 Vote NO on 17 July. #PlymouthKnowsBetter #NoCityMayor #VoteNo
