I just wanted to say a few words on the recent and sudden death of respected local councillor Mel Armstrong.
Mel had served on the former Castle Morpeth Council and was a member of both Northumberland County Council and Ponteland Town Council.
Mel cared a great deal about his patch and so often went above and beyond for everyone, including me. He was a great support to me as a newbie MP, and a great friend.
He will be missed by everyone.
