This week Durham Constabulary issued letters to its 1,160-strong civilian workforce, including police community support officers, specialist analysts and crime scene investigators, advising that their posts are being considered for redundancy, as a result of cutbacks, and that the 90-day statutory consultation period had started.

Local Labour MP, Pat Glass has slammed the Liberal Democrats and Tories for voting against a plan to protect local pensioners from the VAT hike. The Commons vote came as new research showed Britain's pensioners will be stung by an £8 billion VAT bill over the course of this Parliament. There are over one-hundred thousand pensioners living in County Durham, all of whom could be affected. Worse, figures hidden in the Budget show that local pensioners will be hit every year by changes that hit them in the pocket; From January, pensioners will face a £400...
