Responding to the publication of revised proposals for Parliamentary constituencies today (8th November) Leader of the Lib Dems on Sunderland Council Niall Hodson said:
Lib Dem councillors have hit out at Nexus bosses for treating Sunderland as second best as Metros aren't running to Sunderland today (7th November) - and are now calling on Nexus to make sure Wearside isn't cut off again on Wednesday this week.
Lib Dem councillors in Sunderland are calling for Nexus bosses to extend plans for a £2 Metro fare cap to apply to paper tickets - to avoid discriminating against people who don't use the internet or a smartphone.
Lib Dem councillors are calling on Sunderland Council bosses to commit to freezing or limiting rises in Council Tax next year - after they approved plans based on a 2.99% rise.
Commenting on the announcement that Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister, Leader of the Liberal Democrats on Sunderland City Council Niall Hodson said:
The city's Airshow will not take place in 2023 - the fourth year in a row the event has been cancelled.
