from Labours Newsham County Councillor Candidate Deirdre Campbell.
Council forces up Council Tax by almost 20%
in three years, are now consulting to slash services to you.
Northumberland
County Council is in the middle of an online consultation hidden from public
view over the xmas period, to slash services and are offering residents of
Newsham a continuation of delivering nothing for you.
May 2017 saw the Tories seize power from Labour at County Hall on the back of a National surge in right-wing politics and Labour’s dithering stand on BREXIT.
Well we can all see and feel how we have been let down by the Tories on that matter and in the meantime see how they have offered project after project to the residents of Newsham out into the press on this and that they were supposedly going to deliver for Blyth such as a relief road to ease the pressure off Laverock Hall Road. That relief road is essential as Laverock Hall Road has become an air pollution black spot. The filth from vehicles standing idling rises into the air during it most jammed times, both in the morning and late afternoon and its heavier than air particles settle on Newsham during the day and early evening exacerbating the health of our residents.
The Tories also promised on so many occasions that they will deliver the reopening of the AB&T line, rolling out ministers who had no intention of funding such a project until it was cleared by Transport for the North and with their Government now accepting the collapse of rail franchising at an alarming rate who are they going to get to run this line when spin, spin, spin is all they know?.
