Pleased to have been granted a debate this week on HMOs
In November, I presented a petition to Parliament from my constituents about the spread of HMOs in South Shields ๐๏ธ
As a result, we forced ST Council to adopt measures to stop new HMOs ๐
But more needs to be done ๐๏ธโ

Big thanks to @ngadc curator for taking me to see Turners' Keelmen - as I promised @JHCPAL - and talking me through their collection of NE-connected painters. Keelmen is identified as being set in both Newcastle and South Shields. So whose is it? Isnt this our skyline?
I have read the comments in full on @hopenothate Absolutely disgusting. Comments on his resignation so far all from the Council. What about his political party or colleagues on the Council from Reform?

I have long raised concerns about local planning processes. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
You can read my column about that subject, from 2023, here: https://t.co/HakkN9G1Q1
The Govt notified me this week that STC has had some of their planning rights revoked until their performance improves.
The changes made mean that those submitting an application can send it directly to the Planning Inspectorate who will make a decision, by-passing STC. โ๐๏ธ
