🔵 JENNY RICHARDS LAUNCHES HER CAMPAIGN FOR AMBLE
A fantastic team out today as Jenny officially launched her campaign to be Amble’s new County Councillor.
This by-election has come about in the saddest of circumstances following the death of Cllr Arty Hume, who served Amble and its residents. Jenny is determined to run a positive and respectful campaign focused on Amble’s future.
Jenny is already working hard for the town as Deputy Mayor of Amble and through her work with Amble Development Trust (ADT). She knows the community, understands the issues and is already involved in making things happen.
And there is a strong record to build on. Conservative-led Northumberland County Council and Advance Northumberland have invested significantly in Amble, supporting regeneration, new jobs and businesses. That work has helped deliver developments including The Amble Inn and, most recently, helped bring Aldi to Amble, creating around 40 new jobs.
🏫 There has also been major investment in our young people, including the £47 million James Calvert Spence College campus, alongside new specialist SEND provision.
🏠 But Jenny believes Amble has done its bit when it comes to new housing. With so many homes already being built, the priority now must be ensuring the roads, healthcare, schools and wider infrastructure keep pace.
Jenny wants to build on the investment already secured, support Amble’s businesses and High Street, and make sure the town continues to get its fair share from County Hall.
Her message is simple:
We've seen the houses. Now let's build the infrastructure, support our businesses and keep investing in Amble.
🔵 Jenny Richards for Amble. Putting Amble first.
