Rejected petition Investigate why Bedlington is being ignored by Northumberland County Council

Rejected on 22 August 2023

We would like the opportunity to speak directly to the Levelling up Minister. Whilst we see Millions going into other towns within the County, Bedlington is constantly neglected.

Bedlington is the fourth largest Market Town in Northumberland and we need someone in authority (Central Government} to intervene, level up and address the imbalance we feel with the rest of the County.
We feel no one in the Unitary Authority that is NCC is acting on our behalf.
