James Wharton MP

This morning I was interviewed by BBC Tees, along with local resident and secretary of the Village Park Residents Association Peter Brennan, about the sad news that Parkview is to close.  The Labour MP, who has done very little to support the campaign, soon jumped on the issue and was seen throughout the rest of the day acting as though she had been central to efforts to keep Parkview open.  I suppose that’s politics but if she had actually shown some real support perhaps we would have had a better chance and Parkview could have been saved.
