A very good meeting tonight with five of the North Northumberland MP candidates in attendance; David Smith for the Labour Party, Anne-Marie Trevelyan for the Conservatives, and the incumbent MP for Berwick Upon Tweed, Natalie Younes for the Liberal Democrats, Georgina Hill as an independent, and Jan Rosen for the Green Party.

There was an excellent selection of questions from the packed halls at St James’s Church Centre in Alnwick (two had to be run with audio link into the second due to strength of attendance).
Sadly there wasn’t an opportunity to raise the Northumberland Coast Loop directly with the candidates tonight, but the pledges to improve public transport, and making travel in North Northumberland more sustainable will certainly be a focus for any future hustings and for the successful candidate on 4th July.




If any of the candidates would like to reach out and contact, please feel free to do so!
