Last week Labour secured £20 million for Beacon Lough and Wrekenton. The 'Pride in Place' funding can be spent on a whole range of improvements, from local park improvements to fixing up empty buildings and shop fronts.

Most importantly - it's up to you - the residents - to decide how its spent.

New estimate ‘shows scale of exploitation on Wild West care visa route’
More than 39,000 workers were associated with sponsors who had their licences revoked in recent years.
