Active Travel ness Government funding and must include reliable bus services

I'm pleased that @NewcastleCC's E-scooters trial has passed a million miles of use in and around Newcastle. That's why it's a real pity that the Government has slashed funding for active transport, and left funding for buses, cycling and walking options in limbo. pic.twitter.com/WoIpycN6Cd — Chi Onwurah ????

Universal Credit Deductions – impacting on 120,000 children in the North East

120,000 children in the #NorthEast are impacted by Universal Credit deductions. I asked the Minister if deducting funds from my constituent, a Mother of two young children, who were then forced to use a food bank, is evidence of a working system. He didn't answer the question. pic.twitter.com/2yNYDEzZJO — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) June 20, […]

Tory Mortgage Mess

A typical household's mortgage payment has risen threefold in the last 2 years. Yet in the #NorthEast wages are lower now than when the Tories came into power, 13 years ago. I asked the Minister why my constituents should carry on paying the price of conservatism. pic.twitter.com/q87V306rO6 — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) June 13, 2023 […]

Realising the North East’s Potential

50,000 children in the #NorthEast have been pulled into poverty by the Tories in the last 9 years. Our region has fantastic potential, so I asked the Govt for a debate on the regional industrial strategy we need to give our children the future they deserve. pic.twitter.com/cANdfFTSMn — Chi Onwurah ????
