🚨Today was my last day at @TheNorthernEcho!!🚨
It’s been a great experience, I’ve had the privilege of covering important stories, and I’ve made some brilliant friends.
I’m now going solo (and hopefully travelling too!) - I can be reached at [email protected]

🚨EXC: Family moved hundreds of miles from London to Ferryhill where they found a property with broken windows and graffiti outside. They were told by a neighbour it had previously been boarded up after criminal use.
They are now being intimidated at night by men in balaclavas.

Speaking to the manager of the @FHLadderCentre she described how the process has been going on for years.
‘This problem has already happened.’
With Ferryhill full she thinks that is why other areas of the county are now noticing more London families.

EXC: More concerning findings about families being moved to County Durham from London.
Charity leaders and councillors believe that 10% of the #Ferryhill population have been relocated up North by London Borough Councils.

I looked into the number of empty homes in the North East and was shocked to find we have 50,000 in the region.
These are homes that could be used to help young people onto the property ladder or house the homeless.

For those hell bent on bashing local papers at every opportunity, this is the reality facing some friends/colleagues & their families across the country
Good journalism needs support to allow it to survive and thrive. Not attacks from those who know the challenges we all face
