New stations should be accessible for everyone, but according to the National Rail website, Blyth Bebside has no toilets, and no disabled parking spaces. It's not acceptable, and it will stop many of us from travelling.

Entirely too many of these guys around. No I'm not interested in your 'alternative point of view' that ignores people's lived experiences just to be contrarian and edgy.

Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing.

98% of the the 23,000 homes fitted with botched external wall insulation need repairs.

Companies have vanished, people left with the problems.

Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing, report finds
