Council Leader, Cllr Colin Ferguson, has unveiled the initial areas of focus for the new Liberal Democrat administration formed after the local elections in May. Investment in grass cutting, potholes, bulky waste collection and youth services has been announced.

Image of Council Leader Colin Ferguson with quote: "We’ve rolled up our sleeves and got on with the job. I want residents to be able to look out their windows and see a noticeable difference in communities. We have been hard at work since forming an administration and in less than two months we have made huge progress. Delivering on voter priorities"

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

Water firms are dumping sewage with impunity while the Government fails to act. It’s time to end the Wild West water industry with a new regulator, full sewage reporting and a system that serves the public, not profit.

Bold text overlays the image reading “291,492 sewage dumps in England last year.” Yellow tape at the top says “Water Scandal,” and the Liberal Democrats logo in white appears in the bottom right corner. On the bottom left corner it says ''End the Great Sewage Cover up"

Today is the first day of LGBT History Month LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold. This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.

#Newcastle deserves better than a failing Labour administration, but wherever Reform run councils, they bring chaos, division, broken promises, and reward themselves above serving residents. Newcastle deserves real change but only the Lib Dems can deliver that. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...

Reform council spends £600k on eight free parking spaces for senior councillors | LBC

The majority of staff, who will not be able to use the free parking facilities available to their senior colleagues, will still be expected to pay to park every day

It is frankly a scandal that the Labour administration has announced the closure of the cafés at Paddy Freeman’s and Exhibition Park. In their announcement today, the Council claims these venues are suffering from "falling demand." We don’t buy it, and we doubt you do either.

People were rightly furious with the Conservative Party for plunging the NHS into this crisis. Now they are fed up with Labour for letting things get worse on their watch. We must tackle the crisis in A&E.

Ed Davey quote which reads: Right now, in the corridors of A&E departments across our country, there are thousands of people – sick or injured – lying on trolleys or waiting on plastic chairs. No privacy. No dignity.
