Councillor Ian Blades issues an overnight social media post full of foul and abusive language,

🤢 A nice start to the morning as Berwick Hills Labour Councillor Ian Blades issues an overnight social media post full of foul and abusive language, branding me “Sir fu***it Clarke” - and worse.

It would be one thing from a Twitter troll, it’s another from an elected councillor - except in his case they seem to be one and the same thing.

I am submitting a formal complaint to Middlesbrough Council and to his group Leader, Police and Crime Commissioner candidate Matthew Storey - but be in no doubt, sadly this is the true face of the Middlesbrough Labour Party.

What sort of image do they want for our town?

Football fever is set to hit Darlington on Sunday morning, with people getting together to cheer on the Lionesses in the final of the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Council leader Stephen Harker said: “Together with the rest of the country, I was proud to see the Lionesses reach the final. Like millions of others, I’ll be tuning in on Sunday morning to cheer on Sarina Wiegman’s team as they take on Spain in the final.

“With the Lionesses’ game against Spain kicking off at 11am on Sunday and being shown live on free-to-air TV, there will be plenty of opportunities for people to tune in and watch – whether that’s at home, or it’s a great opportunity to get together with friends and family at one of the many pubs, bars and sports clubs who will no doubt love to see you!”

The following town centre venues have already confirmed they will be screening the match:

✅ The Old Dun Cow, Post House Wynd
✅ Darlington Flyer, Skinnergate
✅ The Lounge, Bondgate
✅ Dolphin Centre Bistro (family friendly)
✅ Tapas Bar, Bondgate
✅ The Red Lion, Bondgate
✅ The Green Dragon, Post House Wynd
✅ The Hoptimist, Tubwell Row
✅ The Golden C**k, Tubwell Row
✅ Tubwell Tap, Bondgate
✅ Boot & Shoe, Church Row
✅ The Vault, Indoor Market
✅ The Turks Head, Bondgate
✅ Slaters Arms, Bondgate
✅ Hoskins, Blackwellgate
✅ Hideway Bar & Pizzeria, Duke St
✅ The William Stead, Crown Street
✅ Tanners Hall, Skinnergate
✅ The Juniper Tree, Grange Road

Cllr Harker added: “We’ve been asked where people will be able to watch the final in Darlington, and if the council would organise a big-screen showing the final in the market square.
“As nice an idea as that is, if the council did do this it would inevitably take customers away from the many hospitality venues in town centre. I’m sure the town centre pubs and bars would much rather show the match in their own premises.
“Similarly, when the England men’s team reached the final of the UEFA European Championships in 2021, there was no council-organised big screen event.
“Win or lose, the Lionesses can be assured of our full support, both in Darlington and up and down the country. Come on England!”

Town centre landmarks including the clock tower are being lit up red and white to support the Lionesses.

Sadly, the decision has been taken to postpone this weekend's Middlesbrough Mela.

Heavy rain has left Albert Park waterlogged and in too poor a condition to host the infrastructure needed to put on the event safely.

It is hoped the popular event will now take place over the weekend of Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10.

Kash Patel, chair of the Mela organising committee, said all the stops were now being pulled out to successfully move the event to next month "when people can look forward to a wonderful feast of food, culture and entertainment”.

Organisers of other large events in the North East have taken similar difficult decisions based on the amount of wet weather in recent weeks.
