Excited! After many years of personal campaigning, ministerial visits, + @educationgovuk lobbying today am going to @QEHSHexham to see plans for £30 million + new #Hexham #School plans - my thanks to many, notably @Conservatives govt, @N_landCouncil + local councillors
Successful school campaigns take many years. For #Hexham #schools we started properly in 2012:

The campaign benefited from @dFE minister David Laws visit in 2013 + saw national government sign off of their money in 2015: guyopperman.co.uk/news/mp-secure…
The campaign has had setbacks but massively helped by @CathHexhamEast + @daftladtc - both county councillors have been key in helping persuade @N_landCouncil to back the already pledged coalition and @Conservatives govt support

And massive thanks to @WayneDaleyUK the @Conservatives lead on education @N_landCouncil who has really back #Hexham education @QEHSHexham - google.co.uk/amp/s/www.chro…
The @hexhamcourant - and Colin Tapping their former editor - have also played a key part; this virtual tour is worth a watch hexham-courant.co.uk/news/17857024.…
Leading to today’s drop in to see the plans and take feedback
