Dear Sir,
As an avid Newton News reader, I’m interested to read the weekly offerings of the various standing and potential town and county councillors.
I sincerely hope that, if they are elected, these people will aim to swiftly restore some of the amenities lost to us, try to get to grips with the current spike in anti-social behaviour and pressure the town centre landlords into lowering rents so that more shops can re-open.
I have lived in Newton Aycliffe all my life and have a genuine passion for the town and its residents. My business is based here and local people make up the bulk of the workforce.
I’m often asked why I don’t stand as a candidate, as I know I possess the attributes and community spirit needed to put new enthusiasm and fresh ideas into practice, and all I would say is ‘never say never’.
So, as 6th May looms close, let’s hope that the people who end up in the various council hot seats have the town’s best interests at heart and do their very best to make it an even better place to live.
Yours Sincerely
Neville Jones
Van Mildert Road.
