We all know what the consequences of this reckless decision will be: bigger class sizes, lower standards and children having to travel across North Tyneside just to get to school.

These Labour Councillors should hang their heads in shame 😡

Tonight Labour Councillors pushed through the closure of Monkseaton High School 📝

In the ‘consultation’ 86% of people objected to the closure of the school - Labour Councillors have pushed it through anyway.

Reprioritise spending to the areas residents care about - stop spending on pet projects.

We need real change.

I grew up here, I work here, I live with my family here. As your mayor, I will do whatever it takes to make our borough a great place to live.

Launched my campaign to be your next Mayor of North Tyneside this morning outside the Powder Monkey in Wallsend!

Labour’s 12 years in power have left us with:
❌ Crumbling roads
❌ Higher council tax
❌ Deserted town centres
❌ Pensioners in Poverty

Are you one of 2.25 million people on a low income missing out on a Council Tax reduction?

The Mayor should commit to making sure these job cuts do not fall on front line staff who help our residents day in and day out, we simply can’t afford to see things like bin collections and clean up teams cut further.

North Tyneside Council set to slash 200 jobs amid 'unprecedented' pressure North Tyneside Council staff were told last week that the authority would be opening applications for voluntary redundancies, aimed at shaving £6.5 million from its wage bill

Labour’s financial mismanagement of our Council is now plain for all to see 📉

✂️ Cutting 5% of council staff while they protect things like the chauffeur driven car and spend millions on cycle paths and other vanity projects is inexcusable.
