📝Yesterday I submitted my petition demanding the removal of the 9:30am start time for disabled bus passes.
❌Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am & neither should disabled bus passes.
🤝Thanks to organisations supporting this campaign. Together, we’ll break down these barriers!
We’ve questioned the Council’s plans for our parks and allotments from the outset. It’s time to come clear.

Pleased to be able to speak to support the Lib Dem motion on social care and carers this evening - and particularly pleased to be able to commend the inspirational work of my constituent Janice and @kinshipcharity for kinship carers locally and nationally.

This is damning evidence of the scale of social inertia in parts of our city. It is not simply about disadvantage and poverty (see the East Ham data) but is a lot to do with the failure of the region's political leadership to insist on a NE version of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London…
Top 20 constituencies with the best social mobility in England are all in London, says Sutton Trust. Bottom of the list: Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West. theguardian.com/society/2025…
Lib Dems are standing up for the North East on sewage dumping. From our local efforts to challenge the state of the Ouseburn to national representations in Parliament, only @LibDems are serious about tackling this scandal.
Since KKR bought into Northumbrian Water, bills have soared and raw sewage has flooded the Whitburn coast.
Now they're set to buy Thames Water. Can the Prime Minister guarantee they won’t hike bills and dump sewage again?

Tonight, we’ve said that @NUFC should get a civic reception for bringing silverware back to the city. Howay the lads! @ChronicleNUFC

There is, understandably, some increased scrutiny of the ability of the Mayor of the new Combined Authority's ability to manage Transport Delivery*
* Obviously there's no actual Transport Scrutiny Committee at either NECA nor Newcastle City Council.

Sad that another year has passed without any significant progress being made on the Swing Bridge.
It hasn’t swung since November 2019 and it seems a big task to get it fixed in time for its 150th anniversary.
The famous Swing Bridge has now gone more than five years without being able to swing

The central motorway didn’t look great when I ran under it in September - would certainly be good to get an expert opinion in the wake of Gateshead’s issues this weekend.

Well done to everyone involved

An honour and a privilege to represent the residents of Ouseburn Ward at tonight's Christmas Tree Switch On.
Fantastic to see so many people attending what is a lovely event.
Especially nice to hear the idea of reinstating the ferry to Bergen get a big round of applause!

A consequential @newcastlecc Cabinet meeting tonight. Hard to escape the conclusion that the decision to end post 16 SEN transport “to generate budget savings” and the council stepping in to take over Urban Green as it teeters on the edge of insolvency are weirdly connected.
