After a massive 11% swing to us at the 2005 General Election, Hexham is now very much a 3-way marginal seat.
Andrew Duffield has been re-selected as the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Hexham.
Hexham Constituency includes part of the area covered by Northumberland County Council. It includes the whole of the Tynedale District Council and part of Castle Morpeth District Council (Ponteland and nearby villages).

In 6 short years the Hexham Juniors Football Club has made significant progress both on an off the field. As the club advances towards a long held ambition for junior football in Hexham, having a place Junior Football can call 'home', Northumberland County Councillor Derek Kennedy of Hexham West has stepped in to back the club's ambition and effort by allocating almost £10,000 from the Council's Local Improvement Scheme Fund to the DukesHouse Wood Development. This contribution will be used specifically to provide the floodlighting for the training pitch at DukesHouse Wood.

| Quote of the Week |

"It sounds to me like I should vote for Vince Cable. Vince Cable was against demutualising the building societies back in the 1990s when your government was doing that. Vince Cable was sending me as an economics editor emails every three weeks, about the levels of debt through the last five years and he has been instrumental in saying that the taxpayer needs to be protected nationalising the banks and in having the upside risks as well as the downside ones are the way to go.
