Liberal Democrats WILL work with others

Written by Maureen Rigg and published in sent to Northern Echo, Darlington & Stockton Times. on Wed 16th May 2007

In response to your story today on the political situation in Stockton, I'd like to point out that the Liberal Democrat group has said since before the election "We will work constructively with all parties" (page 4 of our manifesto, available from www.stocktonlibdems.org.uk). I reaffirmed that message to all group leaders on Sunday 6th May. The response from the Labour group leader was "I have absolutely no interest in what a handful of Liberal Democrats have decided, or who you will or will not work with." That is not what I interpret as constructive working.

MOTOCROSS near Eaglescliffe

Written by Alan Lewis and published in Darlington and Stockton Times 5th January 2007 on Fri 5th Jan 2007

In common with hundreds of other Eaglescliffe residents, I can hear the noise from the motocross track near Eaglescliffe, otherwise known as Riverside Lodge. Dozens of people have complained to the Council that they can no longer enjoy being out of doors while the track is operating on many days of the week over much of the year. The operator says that he "aims to educate people living nearby" and "wants to come to a mutual agreement with residents", but we have still to hear from him.
