By Hartlepool Conservative Party

PRESS RELEASE Following successful talks, the Independent Union and Conservatives in Hartlepool will be formally joining under a coalition that we believe is large enough to lead Hartlepool Borough Council. With the support of the Conservative Mayor of Tees Valley Ben Houchen we have been able to secure a very positive and promising outlook for the next municipal year, informed Independent Union Councillor Shane Moore, Leader of the newly formed Independent Union and Conservative Group. Conservative Councillor Mike Young, Deputy Leader of the new coalition group said, We have a duty to give the people of Hartlepool the kind of council they clearly asked for at the ballot box last week. It is imperative that we listen to town residents and begin a process that will allow that change to happen. We are excited to work with Independent Union colleagues under coalition and promise to work as hard as ever. Cllr Moore concluded. Under difficult circumstances and an election result that gave no party overall control, the Independent Union were clear in their opposition to Labour and have struck a deal to force a change of Council Leader. This deal makes Hartlepool Council an Independent Union and Conservative coalition. ENDS
