Actions speak louder than words Deirdre Campbell

Actions speak louder than words Deirdre Campbell - 'Councillors matter'

Deirdre Campbell is nothing less than forthright in her opinions about how to get things done in local politics.

'There's no substitute for persistence and hard work.'As a veteran councillor who served on Blyth Valley as well as Northumberland Councils,

Deirdre is often impatient, but never gives up.'We all know councils have to work with limited budgets as a result ofgovernment cuts.

 All we can do is look to build partnerships and negotiate funding, a step at a time.

 Sometimes it seems like a long process, but then good things start to happen.

Sometimes, like the investment we're making in renewable energy, it's the next step in something that started with Blyth Valley that contributes to the environment on a local scale.'
