Following a major snub of a motion heard in County Hall in December from
Cramlington Councillor Allan Hepple which sought to highlight the continued
injustice faced by miners and their families from a Tory raid on their
pensions, your local CONS in Crammy want to ‘airbrush’ over a valued mural depicting
the mining heritage of our town.
Not content with snubbing the motion on the miner’s pension raid by their
government, the anti-working class brigade headed up by Daley and Flux now want
to get rid of a piece of working class culture in our town. The new memorial to
the mineworkers of Anne Pit in High Pit Cramlington who’s work underground
paved the way and produced the wealth that built up Cramlington from its humble
beginnings is now in their sights.
The fabulous artwork was designed by Frank Styles and is an example of
trompe d’oeil mural.
A Labour Party Spokesperson said: “Cramlington has grown up from a group
of villages set around pits to a large busy new town sitting beside its massive
industrial estate. It’s Northumberland’s second largest town and set to become
its largest over the next two decades and it is a wonderful place, filled with
workers and their families. It only exists in its current form because of its
history of industry fuelled by working people. Northumberland’s Tories have
taken a despicable stance against those people, their neighbours in this town.
The deletion of the memory of those who gave their all to make Cramlington what
it is today. It’s typical of the ‘SAY NO TO EVERYTHING brigade”
