Don't worry - it'll remove the Crime Commissioner role.

Announcement next week - they couldn't do it today because of the SSI announcement.

Might be a start to have a Sunderland mayoral term longer than 1 year, how is shit ever meant to get done?

 

[Some Random Guy]

Anyhow, haven't w already voted against an elected mayor in the recent past, so I ask, WTF was the point?

We also voted against a regional assembly but that's happening now anyway.

 

[JonnotheMackem]

I vote Siddall

Sounds like an opportunity for some utter oxygen thief to get their nose in the trough. Might even be able to "employ" some friends and family members too. Just what we need.

 

[Le Chuck]

.....and yet the Tories bang on about localism. Utter hypocrisy.
The only reason they want to insist on a mayor, is to deflect the blame of council cuts away from the government onto the mayor

 

[Boris Bear]

I vote Ray Mallon.

I predict that we will have a regional assembly in Durham for maybe 3 or 4 years before they make a brilliant case for having it in a lovely shiny building in Newcastle

Will the building be cheap?

 

[Boris Bear]

Very expensive so we will need to put a number of wearside projects on hold until after it is finished....and the new runway at Newcastle International, and the extension of the metro to the west end of Newcastle....and the new Tyneside monorail....
