First @TheNorthernEcho revealed London councils are 'dumping' vulnerable families in County Durham in homes without gas or electricity
Now we can reveal, by not notifying local authorities, they may well be breaking the law

EXCLUSIVE - North East news
This piece has taken me months to do and I have had to do my best to explain my horror at sitting in a custody suite and being told children in Teesside are now smuggling guns around the region.
I wanted to know what was happening on the street...

As Rishi Sunak continues to dodge questions about the future of HS2 it was important to ask this question. I spoke to key figures in the North East about their views on the project. @BenHouchen believes it’s a waste of money and @henrimurison believes it is vital.

It's officially been a year since I joined @TheNorthernEcho and it's been such an incredible experience so far. Here's hoping for many more incredible stories to cover in future.
Speaking of stories, this has to be one of my favourites in my time working as a reporter. Still brings a smile to my face.

This story has been one of the most challenging that I’ve covered for @TheNorthernEcho because of the way that information is slowly being released. Glad I’ve been working with @danielhordon on a whopper spreadsheet to keep track of it all.
