We Must Begin to Shatter the Myths one by one

Distinct advantage for the people of our region
Journal Letters 29th July
The recent news of the postponement of referendums for a regional assembly in both Yorkshire and Humberside and the North-West might be deemed a little disappointing.

However, it hands the North-East a distinct advantage, With the media spotlight solely focused on the North-East people will be more aware of the arguments and better able to make an informed decision.

My only hope is that we seize this unique opportunity to give a greater voice to the region. The position is clear (post the draft bill_ -the proposed assembly will have significant powers to improve our region and argue our case to central government.

MYTH ..."An Assembly will give a greater voice to the region."
 
RESPONSE ..."Please tell us where and how? In Brussels? In Westminster? Who will listen? What will the MP's be doing in all of this?"
