WHAT HAVE THE TORIES GOT AGAINST THE SOUTH EAST?

The Tories want to stop Labours investment in the SE and only stand up for rural areas. They’re letting the SE down

WHAT HAVE THE TORIES GOT AGAINST THE SOUTH EAST?   THEY WANT TO STOP LABOUR’S INVESTMENT IN YOUR AREA THAT MEANS THE TORIES WANT TO û  The Tories tried to pull plug on the new hospital which means no new investment in the South East   û  Blocking investment in roads and pavements û  Stopping extra investment in grass cutting and street cleaning û  Scrapping plans to put more council jobs in communities like Cramlington, Blyth, Ashington, Morpeth, Hexham, Berwick, Alnwick by moving out of the ‘Albatross’ County Hall û  Scrapping plans to reopen the Blyth-Ashington-Tyne line û  Opposing plans to meet the savage cuts of £130m which protect services and communities like Cramlington û  Oppose the plan to make post 16 transport fairer by removing the ‘rural subsidy’ which meant kids in the South East subsidised travel to Edinburgh and Durham for a ‘small number’ û  Oppose the building of thousands of good quality council homes across Northumberland to tackle the scandal of a housing waiting list which has already been reduced by Labour by 25% in Labour’s first year û  Voted against Labour’s plan to tackle the scandal of the ‘pothole blackhole’ which stood at over 35.000 holes last year. Labour cleared the backlog in 1 year after 5 years of pothole inaction by Tories and Lib Dems when they ran the council û  Put forward a policy to privatise council services which would give residents no say in services and would put profit at the forefront of your services. Don’t forget the Tories supported the last Lib Dem administrations plans to flog off the council (and sell off County Hall in Morpeth) and scrap a further 1000 jobs to add to the 2000 already lost since 2009. û  Tried to derail Labour’s plans to protect services by entering into partnerships to share services with other local authorities. û  Put forward plans to split the rural North and West from the urban South East which would see council taxes triple, services reduced and huge job losses. THIS IS THE CLEAREST INDICATION THAT CRAMILINGTON AND WANSBECK TORIES HAVE NO SAY IN NORTHUMBERLAND TORY POLICY AND THAT RURAL TORIES LIKE JACKSON, OPPERMAN AND TREVELYAN ARE HAPPY TO CAST THEM ADRIFT THAT MEANS THE TORIES IN THE SOUTH EAST HAVE NO SAY OVER TORY POLICY MADE IN THE RURAL NORTH AND WEST FOR THE RURAL NORTH AND WEST – UNDER THE TORIES THE SOUTH EAST WOULD GET NOTHING Peter Jackson’s ‘no cheer’ Christmas message to the South East – 12 quotes for Christmas   Source 1 Week 1 http://www.berwick-advertiser.co.uk/news/local-news/all-news/politicians-call-on-arch-to-hold-public-meeting-1-3587786 û    2 http://guyopperman.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/guest-post-cllr-peter-jackson-we-need.html û    3 http://www.teamtrevelyan.co.uk/news/anne-marie-trevelyan-calls-action-berwick-town-centre-eyesores û    4 http://www.morpethherald.co.uk/news/county-hall-move-to-ashington-approved-1-6882251 û    5 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/northumberland-county-council-committee-opposes-7826954 û    6 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-29524484 û    7 http://www.newspostleader.co.uk/news/local/county-hall-move-key-to-investment-claims-coun-davey-1-6883904 û    8 http://www.berwick-advertiser.co.uk/news/local-news/all-news/council-presses-ahead-with-its-plans-to-relocate-county-hall-1-3565278 û    9 http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/north-east-news/northumberland-county-council-under-fire-6949574 û    10 http://www.berwickconservatives.com/news/conservatives-slam-white-elephant-county-hall-move-0 û    11 http://www.hexhamcourant.co.uk/news/2.2978/taxpayers-will-foot-bill-for-labour-s-40m-folly-1.1163923 û    12 http://www.wansbeck-conservatives.com/news/senior-tories-taking-lead-against-county-hall-closure û
