Tuesday April 29 - Thursday's election
THE BNP are not a mainstream political party, but a bunch of extremists stirring up hatred and dividing people on the basis of where they were born and the colour of their skin.

Monday April 21 - Dudley’s economy continues to grow.
This week's papers have been full of doom and gloom about the economy, because a few estate agents or building societies have published figures suggesting house prices are in meltdown.

Friday March 28 - Government back our flag campaign
This week one of the Dudley News campaigns got given the official government seal of approval.

Monday March 17 - Campaign to bring a university to Dudley
I visited Dudley College last week to step up the campaign to bring a university to Dudley.

Tuesday March 12 - I want everyone to attend this week's parade for the Mercian Regiment
I'LL be attending this week's parade to mark the Mercian Regiment getting the freedom of our Borough - and I hope many local people will turn out to show their support and their appreciation for Britain's armed forces.

Wednesday February 13- Duncan EdwardsWednesday February 13- Duncan Edwards
FOR anyone, like me, who grew up in Dudley the name of Duncan Edwards is synonymous with the town and your childhood; your school competed for the Duncan Edwards Cup; you saw the stained glass windows at St Francis's Church. When you went swimming you'd see the shirts and the caps at the leisure centre.

Thursday February 7- Let's have tough penalties for illegal drivers
I'VE never been able to understand why people caught driving without insurance or tax get such small fines.

LAST Friday I attended the Holocaust Memorial event at Dudley College.

Tuesday January 15- Record Government support for Dudley
OH dear.

Tuesday January 8- Fair Shares for Dudley and the Black Country
I AM sure you will be as disappointed as I am that we did not win the People's Millions vote and the £50 million it would have brought to the Black Country, but I wanted to thank everyone who took part in the ballot.
