Welcome to my new website, which I hope you will find useful.

This is the first change I’ve made to it since 2010, and the new site is mobile-friendly – really important given that around 60% of people now access the internet solely through a mobile device, such as their phone or tablet, rather than via a desktop.

I have also added a sign-up form for Newcastle North residents who would like to receive the regular e-bulletin I send to constituents who have contacted me in the past.

The next step is to have key parts of the website translated into British Sign Language (BSL) – a pledge I made during a special surgery for deaf constituents.

Let me know what you think!
