Congratulations to our new UKIP Hartlepool Councillors John Tennant, Bob Buchan and Shane Moore!

Our strong team of five Councillors will now form the official opposition on Hartlepool Council.

The newly elected Councillors in Hartlepool have made the following statements:

Shane Moore: “I am immensely proud to have been elected to represent Headland and Harbour and pay tribute to my family and friends who have helped me over the line. UKIP is on the rise in Hartlepool and we intend to lead by example, creating an effective opposition to the unpopular Labour group.”

Bob Buchan “I’d like to thank the people of Fens and Rossmere for giving me a strong mandate, their confidence will be honoured and I shall get on with the job of being a good, trustworthy and effective Councillor”

John Tennant ” I’m hugely honoured to be elected on May 5th and indeed incredibly pleased with our results overall, UKIP is the opposition in Hartlepool and we have demonstrated that. I look forward to putting Labour under the microscope and fight hard for my ward residents

UKIP North East MEP Jonathan Arnott commented “I am absolutely delighted that UKIP is now the official opposition on Hartlepool Council. We have fought a great campaign, gained three seats, and could easily have gained more. The gains are a credit to everyone who helped to turn huge swathes of this town purple.

The real hard work starts now. We have to prove that our new councillors can do an excellent job in representing their constituents. We have toprove that UKIP can be a credible opposition in the Council chamber, holding an appallingly complacent Hartlepool Labour Party to account. I know that John, Shane and Bob will relish the opportunity to do just that.

But it’s not just in Hartlepool where we’re making progress. UKIP activists have worked incredibly hard to achieve good results across the region. It’s heartening to see just how many places there now are where UKIP are strong, credible challengers to Labour and this bodes well for our future in Sunderland, Newcastle and South Tyneside. When we have the results for North Tyneside and Gateshead, I’m sure they will be just as positive.”

]]> UKIP hit the campaign trail in Sunderland http://www.ukipne.org/2016/04/ukip-hit-the-campaign-trail-in-sunderland/ Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:54:57 +0000 http://www.ukipne.org/?p=4559 Joshua Green, Paul Holt and Reg Coulson – all from Houghton – will stand for election on May 5.

While they are hoping to be elected to the city council for the first time, the trio have spent a year on Hetton town Council.

Teenager Joshua, who works in IT, was selected for St Chads ward.

At the age of 19, he is the youngest councillor to be elected to the town council and hopes to be the youngest ever city councillor.

Copt Hill will have its first ever UKIP candidate with well-known local face Reg Coulson, who has been teaching people to drive for decades.

He said: “I am horrified to see our fields being developed for housing at an alarming rate and believe it’s time for change.”

Paul, from Houghton, works for an electronics company and is UKIP’s candidate for Houghton.

He said: “Decades of dominance by one political party has not proved beneficial to Sunderland or its residents.

“You only have to look at councils where there has been opposition in the council chamber to see what can be achieved.”#

]]> Anger over government pro-EU propaganda http://www.ukipne.org/2016/04/anger-over-government-pro-eu-propaganda/ Thu, 07 Apr 2016 11:56:52 +0000 http://www.ukipne.org/?p=4555

Local MEP Jonathan Arnott has described spending almost £10 million on pro-EU propaganda for every household in the country as ”a kick in the face of democracy.”

Leaflets arguing for Britain to remain in the EU published by the government are due to land on doorsteps in the North East by next week.

“It is not just a kick in the face to democracy, it’s outrageous,” said Mr Arnott, UKIP Euro-MP.

“Taxpayers money is blatantly being used by the government to finance this propaganda blitz but meanwhile the campaign for Brexit is barred from spending such a vast sum.

“That is totally unfair and out of keeping with the British sense of fair play.

“It is also completely in keeping with EU tactics which not only try to fool people into believing it it is good for us but use our own money to bludgeon us about the head with their misleading information.

“Justifying it by saying that independent polling indicates 85% of voters want more information to make a decision before the June 23 referendum is disingenuous.

“People do want more information but they want to know the case for both sides and not just one,” added Mr Arnott.
