Roberta's and Labour's vision for Durham is a positive one where the economy is helped to get back on the right track, where investment in public services is maintained, where every child no matter where in the City gets the best possible education, where our heritage is protected, and where people can afford to live in a safe environment.

We want to see:

• Visible neighbourhood policing to get tough on crime and anti-social behaviour

• Better facilities for children and young people.

• The best improving local schools.

• More good quality affordable housing so that everyone can rent or buy a decent home.

• Top quality local services with value for money for local taxpayers.
