Tynemouth Ward Labour

We’re grateful to Susan Dungworth - Northumbria Police & Crime Commissioner for her continued work on this issue, and to local police teams for their work and for providing the data.

Every one of these offences will have been distressing for our residents who are the victims of this hate. We need to be working night and day to bring people together and protect our neighbours from this happening again.

And when history asks, “Did you know him, old sport?”
Nigel will smile and reply with retort:
“I may have said hello… or perhaps not at all—
You see, I was busy— in Brussels’ great hall!”

Oh, politics’ stage is a marvellous play,
Where yesterday’s mates are denied the next day.
So raise up your glass, to the Farage technique—
Forgetfulness blooming at least once a week!

“Eight counts of bribery? Russians, you say?
I’m sure I’d remember— but not, well, today.
Perhaps we once shared a lukewarm buffet?
But truly, dear chaps, I’d just wandered away.”

The cameras all clicked, and the journos all laughed,
At Nigel’s new memory, thoroughly daft.
For once every comrade turns headline or foe,
He suddenly finds he “just didn’t quite know.”

Nigel Never Knew Nathan, Russians, you say?”
(A Cautionary Tale of Selective Memory)

Old Nigel stood puffed by the Channel’s blue air,
With a pint and a grin and a well-practised stare.
“Now don’t point your fingers, don’t make such a fuss—
I barely recall who this Nathan chap was!”

North East must 'stand together' amid rise in race and faith-related hate crimes Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner has urged unity in the face of hatred as records show an increase in race and faith related hate incidents.

Disappointing to hear & well done to Susan for calling this out. Would suggest that some politicians in our borough think long & hard about the language that they are using & the impact this has on our residents.

There's real appetite for practical co-operative projects like energy generation and shared EV charging locally, we just need to work together to make this happen.

The original sea buckthorn was planted to help stabilise the dunes and create habitat to the top of the bank, after the reclamation of the site of the old Plaza. Over the years its expanded & taken over too much of the dunes. This project will start to reverse this.

S106 Funding will cover the mechanical removal of the Buckthorn, with the same contractors who did this at Warkworth a few years ago on the job. This will just be a couple of trial areas initially in the areas shown in red & yellow on the images attached.

The Thorny subject of Buckthorn at Longsands is due to be tackled for the first time in June after local resident Gordon highlighted the problem. What do you think? 🤔 🌳⚠️🏴‍☠️
