West Road Improvements Needed
Tue 22nd Apr 2008
Councillor Neil Bradbury has called for improvements to the appearance to the West Road and for the Town Council to reveal the workings of a secretive group meant to be focusing on improvements. £10,000 was allocated for the improvement of the roads surrounding pavements and railings. However none has yet to be spent and the council committee, which met in secret and did not let any local ward councillors know its plans, has yet to come forward with any proposals. "If the committee talked to me or any other local residents, we'd soon have the money spent." said Neil Bradbury. Of particular concern is the state of pavements around Prospect terrace. What do you want to happen on the road? Contact Neil at Prudhoe 832933 to let him know.

"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
