Your "local" Conservative Councillor

The recently elected Conservative councillor for South Blyth ward on Blyth Town Council has given his address on his register of interests form as New Hartley.

Note for people outside this area, New Hartley is a village about 5 miles away, covered at parish level by Seaton Valley Community Council
