Save our Borough

We oppose the Government's drive to reorganise local councils, including the merger of Newcastle-under-Lyme into a larger authority. In practice, this likely means a takeover by the City of Stoke-on-Trent, a move which would not be in the interests of local people in our Borough.

I sign the petition against the merger of Newcastle-under-Lyme into a 'super-council', taking away our Borough's 852 year history of independence, undermining local democracy and making power more remote and less accountable to local people.
