This week, Luke joined Middlesbrough Mayor Chris Cooke in Easterside, listening to residents about local issues in the area.

Together they reported issues with parking, offroad bikes and antisocial behaviour in the area.

Luke said: “Thank you to everybody in Easterside who stopped to say hello and raise issues with us. If elected, I will be a leader that works together with our local councils to help bring improvements and attract investment – not play politics and attack each other.”
