And we're still up to our ears in Debt!!!

Labour in Northumberland has presided over an era of cuts whilst spending ever more money it doesn't have. It has now accumulated £123 million of debt - that's £750 of debt for every man woman and child in the county. "Labour just can't be trusted in the county" commented Neil Bradbury. This new council needs a new start - we need to try to stop the waste and get spending under control. The Liberal Democrats have pledged to keep council tax increases under the rate of inflation if elected.
