Cllr Lewis Bartoli - Tynemouth ward Councillor

Great to welcome Matt Vickers MP, Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, to Tynemouth today to support our campaign. Jay also had the chance to raise a number of local issues affecting residents here in Tynemouth. Strong local voices matter. 🔵 #Tynemouth #Conservatives

🚨 Labour councillors have pushed through a licence for a 24-hour casino by Tynemouth Pool, ignoring local concerns, Conservative objections, and nearly 700 residents who signed our petition. This isn’t what local people want — and we’re exploring every option to stop it. ✍️

👑🚶 The King Charles III England Coast Path runs right through Tynemouth — this map shows our stunning stretch of the route. From beaches to breathtaking coastal views, we really do live in one of the best parts of the country. 🌊 #Tynemouth #EnglandCoastPath

Great to see Longsands now has its own Surfers Code sign. Well done to Yonder for all the work and care that has gone into delivering this. A creative addition to the beach, but also an important one, helping highlight the dangers of the rip at Longsands. 🏄‍♂️🌊

Lewis and Jay were out tonight on a street surgery around Tynemouth. Residents raised concerns about poor roads and pavements, and many said Labour councillors voting themselves pay rises while increasing council tax is plain hypocrisy.

Out today on a street surgery around Lambley Avenue, Henley Road and Beach Croft. Thanks to everyone who put out a card and stopped us for a chat — really appreciated. Hearing directly from residents is always invaluable. 💙 #Tynemouth #Marden #StreetSurgery

As a dog walker in Tynemouth, I see many of these breeds on our beaches and parks every week — Border Collies, Dachshunds, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Beagles, Corgis, Cavaliers and Westies — happy, healthy and well cared for. That’s why this feels like Labour overreach.
