A BRIDGE TO CLOSURE

Many of you may have seen Dr Mick Salt's graphic - but for those of you who have not, I am sharing it here.

Congratulations to Steph and the team from Co-op Bank, who recently moved into their new home on Newcastle-under-Lyme High Street. Occupying the previous Laura Ashley store, the bank has an ATM and welcoming team of dedicated staff. It is fantastic to see an empty building back in use.

ON THE BUSES

Quite an exciting spot from a member of my team earlier today - my advert is now on several bus routes across Newcastle, promoting my upcoming Pensioners' Support Fair which is on Friday week (the 15th) from 10am.
