Issues of the Day

Issues of the day

Here you can find Roberta’s views on the big issues of the moment. In Durham this includes:

  • Improving the quality and supply of the City's housing stock following the disastrous policies of the former City Council

  • Improving our bus services and local transport

  • Extending access to GP surgeries and dentists across our villages

In Westminster the key issue of the day is cleaning up Parliament after the recent expenses problems. I have always been open and honest about my claims and have published this on my website since my election in 2005. That is why I support calls to reform and clean up the expenses system.
