We all know what the consequences of this reckless decision will be: bigger class sizes, lower standards and children having to travel across North Tyneside just to get to school.

These Labour Councillors should hang their heads in shame 😡

Council teams are preparing now and will be on standby. If you must go out, please take care.

If you have any issues locally these are the best ways to report them:

• Power cuts - tinyurl.com/PowercutNT
• Fallen trees - tinyurl.com/fallentreesNT
• Council housing repairs - tinyurl.com/HousingNT
• Roads - tinyurl.com/roadsNT
• Emergencies: Call 0330 333 74 75

Reprioritise spending to the areas residents care about - stop spending on pet projects.

We need real change.

I grew up here, I work here, I live with my family here. As your mayor, I will do whatever it takes to make our borough a great place to live.

The Mayor should commit to making sure these job cuts do not fall on front line staff who help our residents day in and day out, we simply can’t afford to see things like bin collections and clean up teams cut further.
