Shouty, bullying, business chair of Northumberland County Council,
Councillor Barry Flux who was recorded lacing into women Council members at
last week's meeting of full council had prior to the meeting abused a member of
the public.
A member of the public whom out of courtesy we will not name, has really
strong feelings regarding the development of a ‘Culture Hub’ on Blyth’s town
square and market place. He is against the development using levelling up cash
and has stated so on social media.
He had previously been evicted by police from the Council chamber for
asking questions at question time which had not had the required written notice
so that Councillors could develop answers which suited their cause.
On this occasion according to known Tory social media the business chair
of Council had telephoned the police before the meeting began and had him
thrown out without making any attempt to assist his questioning, rather like
the way many describe the bullying of staff, brought out and bought out during
the Tory Council’s dealings with its former chief executive Mrs Lally.
The Culture Hub to be developed in Blyth is very unpopular with
residents and that unpopularity has been hardened in over the last few weeks as
the plague of traffic and parking problems in the South Shore area of Blyth
were amplified when 20,000 visitors attended the Blyth parish council’s
fireworks event and another round of indiscriminate parking took place to the
detriment of residents who now know that the culture hub will mean that the parish
council will have to halt its events program in Blyth Town Centre and hold more
events at the South Beach site.
Its well recorded by various bodies that the ‘Culture Hub’ Is being
pushed by the Deputy leader of Council and Council Officers as the easy option
to do something however short sighted in the centre of Blyth as a levelling up
gesture to pacify the natives.
A further opportunity for people to express their feelings about
damaging a large public open space takes place online via the link below on
24th November. The proposed development, which will hide the shops around the
town square and marketplace and therefore the fact, that in the last twelve
years of Tory government most of Blyth’s shops have drifted away and that the
policies of the Tory County Council is to support the amazingly successful
shopping centre the Council indirectly owns through its venture company ADVANCE
in Cramlington where there are few is any shops void for any length of time.
That support for Cramlington is hardened in with the County Council's
Blyth relief road scheme where the only real improvement is the development of
a high speed road to take residents of Blyth rushing into Cramlington to do
their business in their shops and banks.
Residents, businesses and workers in Blyth are being encouraged to visit
the Keel Row Shopping Centre in Blyth between 2pm-7pm on Thursday, 24th
November and between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, 26th November and online via the
link below from 24th November.
