Leader of Northumberland Conservatives, Coun. Peter Jackson, recently gave an interview to the News Post Leader and touched on a wide range of issues affecting the county, not least the change to Unitary status this month.
Peter said: “The Labour Government has dumped us in this unnecessary and unwanted position, and seem quite happy to forget that the people of Northumberland have always said 'no' to a unitary authority. They thought they would be able to take over the county, but the voters made it clear that this is not what they wanted, and they lost a lot of seats because of their arrogance and failure to listen to the people."
