His latest leaflet sees him claim that he is going to have land at Elliot Street cleansed and secured. Well he must have missed page 93 in the shared by coalition handbook as he should have checked things out before going into print.
Labour County Councillor Deidre Campbell has already had the Council's enforcement team let loose on this site which is known as rear Carr Street. The landowners have been through the full enforcement process and the executive officer of the Council in charge of Street
care has led some of the visits to the site.
We caught up with Councillor Campbell who said “the effort I have put in to getting these issues surrounding this site resolved particularly with the Tories being in charge at County Hall and their insistence that they will not deliver anything in Blyth has been enormous.”
“But my persistence and harrying of those in charge led to enforcement action being taken and if the landowners don’t keep this site clean in future they will face further action.”
“But its galling that a man who people say lives in Newcastle can just float in and claim he is going to do something, typical Tory.” “Claim it all and do nothing for the people who live here”.
