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 ????

People are being left behind – Bank Branches disappearing and made to pay to take out their own cash

Constituents in #NewcastleCentral should not be paying to take out cash during a cost-of-living crisis. Yet, under the Tories, access to free cash points and in-person banking services is declining. Labour will give the FCA the power to protect face-to-face banking???? pic.twitter.com/Y0jkEEiZFb — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) June 21, 2023
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, […]
Support for Elswick Swimming Pool

.@ElswickPool is a vital enabler of mental and physical health for communities in #Newcastle. ???????? But like many leisure centres, they’re struggling to make ends meet. The Tory Minister claims money is available but our pool in Elswick has not received any⬇️ pic.twitter.com/UP1lhuWRoH — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) June 15, 2023 Chi Onwurah Elswick […]
HORIZON Europe – British Science still locked out

It has been 127 weeks of uncertainty, delay, and broken promises since the Tories us out of #HorizonEurope costing research & jobs. I asked the Minister if, as reported, demands for a future failure discount were stalling negotiations on rejoining Horizon. He wouldn't answer. pic.twitter.com/T3Zve22KDn — Chi Onwurah ????

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 ????
