Making the case for constituents at the Boundary Commission Hearings

I was making my case to the North East independent boundary commission hearings. They affect the Hexham constituency and wider Northumberland a lot, and I was at the Darlington evidence session today. I was making the case that the proposed changes, in particular the partitioning of Ponteland, and the surrounding villages of Ogle, Whalton and Stannington are very wrong. The division generally of Northumberland seems wrong. More details on the proposed national changes are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32695546
