Brilliant news from our PM for the North today meaning that the benefits of HS3 linking our northern cities are a step nearer (bringing direct benefits to Darlington)

As for the MP for Middlesbrough pouring scorn of these advances let’s not forget this is the same man who failed to back our Mayor Ben Houchen in his bid to save our airport.

When Labour were elected to government in 1997 they cancelled wholescale the national road building programme, the effects of which are still being felt throughout our country.

Here in Darlington Labour were responsible for the nightmare that is the Haugton Throughabout- thankfully being fixed by the new council here in Darlington.

Labour can’t be trusted on transport.
