Hiya Brenda, obviously a great night for Labour in Hartlepool. It's cancelled back in charge
00:05
the first time since 2019. It's been quite a journey since then, what's your reaction
00:10
to the results tonight?
00:12
It has been a journey and it's been a long journey and we haven't just gone out in the
00:17
last few weeks to knock and canvas for people, we've actually been doing it since 2019 and
00:25
we've tried to get the message across that we are a group and a party that can be trusted
00:31
in Hartlepool and I think that's what's happened tonight. People have decided that they might
00:38
put their trust in us and hopefully we will deliver for them.
00:43
What do you think has been key in getting that trust from people to get their votes?
00:46
I think engaging with them, I think asking their opinions, listening to them, talking
00:52
to them, not just making decisions without considering what people have been saying.
01:01
And on a personal level this will make you the first female leader of Hartlepool as a
01:05
party, what's that like for you personally?
01:08
So I think it's a great achievement for Hartlepool, I don't see it as a personal achievement,
01:13
I see it as a team that's done this and it's really good to have a female leader at long
01:22
last.
01:23
And what are going to be the priorities of the Labour group now that they're leading
01:28
administration?
01:29
So we're looking at the budget, we're looking at the cost of living crisis, we're looking
01:35
at council tax, we're looking at some of the immediate issues that we might be able to
01:41
change quickly to make things better for the residents of Hartlepool.
01:46
You mentioned the residents of Hartlepool, what has been the reaction from them when
01:50
you've been out on the doorsteps, obviously you said recent weeks but obviously all year
01:54
round.
01:55
Have they been raising issues on a local level with Conservatives, has it been a national
02:00
issue, what's been your sort of swing at with them?
02:03
So a mixture, I think that they've been quite concerned nationally with the National
02:12
Party and the government, there's a lot of faith gone from the present government and
02:21
I think that's reflected locally as well.
02:26
Obviously there's expected to be a general election coming up potentially later this
02:30
year but for now at least Hartlepool has a Conservative MP in Jill Mortimer, how do you
02:36
think it's going to be working with her from a council and an MP perspective?
02:39
It'll be interesting I think, yeah.
02:43
And last thing then, have you got any messages for the residents of Hartlepool, those who
02:47
voted Labour tonight and those who didn't as well?
02:50
The message for the people of Hartlepool is that we will do our very best as a united
02:56
group to lead the council and to make life as better as we can for the people of Hartlepool.
03:06
That's great, thanks.
