Good Evening john,

My newsletter includes reporting on a visit to Egger, knocking on doors and talking to residents across the Tyne Valley and securing more investment for local flood defences. 

As ever, if you have an issue you would like to raise with me as your local Member of Parliament, please email: [email protected].

👷‍♂️ Boosting employment in Hexham 


Guy regularly meets local businesses
such as Egger to help create more jobs
in Tynedale and Ponteland.

Today, I visited Egger in Hexham to discuss their continued investment in our local economy and how I can support them in the future.

More jobs is one of my six priorities for Tynedale and Ponteland and we have made good progress. Over the last decade, unemployment in our area has fallen 45%. This means more families with more money in their pockets, boosting our local economy. 

But there is more to do. I will continue working with businesses like Egger to bring more investment into our communities and increase the number of local apprenticeships, so young people are equipped with the skills they need for high-paid employment.

🏡 Out and about in Hexham, Stocksfield and Wylam.

Great to be out this week, knocking doors and talking to residents in Hexham, Stocksfield, Haydon Bridge, Stamfordham and Wylam.

Lots of issues came up on the doorstep, including tackling anti-social behaviour. I am working with Northumberland County Council to improve youth services, and I'm making the case to the Chief Constable to ensure we get our fair share of Northumbria Police's 705 new officers.

If we missed you and you want to raise a local issue, email me at [email protected]
