Patrick (PJ) Morrissey, Mark Mitchell & Owen Burbidge

Your Councillors for West Fenham & Slatyford

Patrick (PJ) Morrissey, Mark Mitchell and Owen Burbidge are your current councillors on Newcastle City Council.

We are clear on what residents want to see here in West Fenham and Slatyford:

• Better play equipment in our play areas.
• Potholes and pavements repaired so residents can get down the street safely.
• Proper enforcement to stop flytipping.
• More council housing so that we get people off the housing list, and they can get housing locally.

We have already secured better grass cutting in the ward, helped pensioners get their heating back on, reported fly-tipping and abandoned cars. We have highlighted issues from across the ward at city council meetings and to those in charge at the Civic Centre.

PJ, Mark and Owen are also part of the 25 strong Liberal Democrats Group on Newcastle City Council, who lead the Council as a minority administration (and Mark is Deputy Leader of the Council).
