Thank you to the Trustees of Cullercoats Watch House, Frank, Mick, Helen and Viv, and volunteer Kevin for hosting me at the Watch House recently.

It was great to go back and see the full extent of the external renovations that have happened since my last visit. They have done a magnificent job and I want to congratulate everyone involved.

It was also good to hear about the team’s exciting plans for the future. There’s still a lot of work to do and I’ve pledged to support them in any way I can.

It was also good to see the local Cullercoats councillors who hold weekly surgeries there.
