Remaking the home of the First Public Steam Railway
The North East has a proud history of innovation and industry. Birthplace of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the first public steam railway in the world, the North East was also the centre of Britain’s shipbuilding and mining industries.
Yet despite these strong foundations, earnings in the North East were the lowest in the UK in 2022.
Since the campaign launched, we’ve visited the North East several times, holding a reception in Sunderland, visiting businesses in Blyth, holding a business roundtable in Durham and visiting the Teesworks site in Teesside.
We’ve also campaigned hard to get the A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham dualled.

Every day, 34,000 vehicles drive along the A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham. It’s the only section of the A1 that isn’t dualled, causing regular traffic chaos and economic pain for people and local businesses in the area.

Britain Remade in
the North East
The problems Britain faces today - things like the cost-of-living and energy bills, the lack of affordable houses, and the loss of industry - are problems we can overcome. Our campaign is listening to your concerns and ideas and working to develop practical solutions to improve things. We’re here to act on your behalf and make sure Westminster is listening.
