A town centre with properly controlled housing developments, not just for students, community facilities including the Guildhall for public use, some free midway car parking and indoor market.

5. Local Partnership:

The identity of Newcastle Borough preserved while working more effectively with neighbours and the County Council in a civic hub that is properly fit for purpose.

6. Leisure and Culture:

Improved communication between councils and the public together with greater promotion of our leisure and cultural attractions.

7. Cycleways:

Proper through cycleways for leisure and for travel to work, schools and universities.

8. Recycling: 

A recycling system that is really efficient and has increased the proportion collected.

9. Taxation: 

A good system established by central government for local government financing, including reformed council tax, business rates and government grants.

10. Heath and Social Care:

A properly resourced, efficient health and social care provision.
