Priti Patel and Jill Mortimer visited the town this afternoon and canvassed ahead of the by-election. When asked why it had taken 10 years for Hartlepool to receive any benefits from the Conservative Party, Ms Patel said: First of all you know have elected representatives in the area that can work with government. When you haven t got elected representatives that work with government, then of course that investment doesn t come. I ve got to pay particular tribute to Ben Houchen [Tees Valley Mayor] who has been a tour de force basically working with myself and my colleagues across government. I remember campaigning for Ben in the election previously and again bringing that vision to light.

The Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner candidate has released his manifesto. Standing as the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) since November 2012, candidate David Lloyd says he wishes to recruit even more officers, keep tax low, protect local policing and increase efficiency. Following the pandemic, he says he would ask the force s chief constable to conduct a comprehensive review of the lessons learned during Covid – particularly aspects such as remote and digital working and other positives seen in the pandemic. To boost crime prevention, Mr Lloyd pledges he would continue to expand “the largest police force Hertfordshire has ever seen” and using extra resources to invest in a new focus of cutting crime off at the roots with a ‘Prevention First’ strategy.
