Cllr Owen Burbidge said : "This scheme makes cycling available to anybody. Journeys are monitored so that last week we know around 3000 km was covered. We're showing that under the Liberal Democrats administration we are a city serious about cycling."

We are delighted that the council has taken swift action to respond to concerns we raised on behalf of Dene Close residents about the fence with the “paddock” on the edge of Jesmond Dene. Rotten fence posts are being replaced and the thistles are being strimmed! #focusteamaction

🚨 We are aware of resurfacing work this weekend on the Coast Road slip road. We are underwhelmed by lack of prior notice to councillors and residents on this stretch and potential knock-on effects of diversion traffic and buses. We are making urgent enquiries with the highway engineers team.

Sorry he said it or sorry he got caught? Judging by his comments at council this month, definitely the latter

Today marks 100 days since Colin Ferguson was elected Leader of #Newcastle City Council. Newcastle Liberal Democrats promised you would see a difference in your communities through your front window and we've got started doing exactly that. 100 days in, plenty done, plenty more to do.

100 Days. Getting on with what matters most to residents. Reopened cafés in our parks. More local services staff into weedkilling duties. Backed the end of the late night levy. Started work on new and improved playgrounds. Invested £1 million in pothole repairs. Committed £1 million to housing repairs. Plenty more done, plenty more to do!

Glad the government has listened and done the right thing by banning Kanye West from coming to the UK to peddle his hatred. British festivals should be a place for celebration, not a platform for someone who has praised Hitler and promoted vile antisemitic conspiracy theories.

This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.

This is wake-up call for Labour MPs. 👋 Vote for our EU customs union bill on Tuesday so we can start to undo the damage done by Brexit.
A screenshot of an online news article with the headline: "Labour voters want Starmer to ditch Brexit red lines and rejoin EU customs union instead of raising taxes." The sub-headline states that "Some 67 per cent of 2024 Labour voters back rejoining the customs union instead of raising taxes, a new poll shows."

Our hospitality sector is on its knees & many people feel it's unaffordable to go out to a restaurant or pub. That’s why we @libdems.org.uk are calling on the Government to cut VAT by 5% in the Budget - to boost footfall, support local businesses and inject life back into our hospitality sector. 🍽️🍻
