The weather has definitely turned, and autumn is upon us. According to forecasters, by mid-November we will be deep in snow. Northumberland will take it all in its stride. Our natural optimism and resilience see us through most things.
But we are still being left behind in so many ways - in transport infrastructure investment, in technology investment, in supportive policies to encourage our great NE entrepreneurial spirit, even in our share of funding per child in our schools. So I have been continuing to lobby on all these fronts on behalf of Northumbrians.
The latest campaign is now being launched.... To help secure government funding for investment in broadband infrastructure.
Our website for the campaign is now up and running here and we are asking as many as possible, young and old, businesses and individuals, schools, clubs, homeworkers, to complete the survey. We have a short timescale in which to gather the views and needs of as many of our 270,000 population as possible. Armed with real messages we will prove to government just how vital investing in broadband is to ensure the rural Northumberland the world adores is not left behind in the technology revolution.
