Labour members leading the way on community casework

A Freedom of Information (FoI) request was received by Durham County Council recently asking for details of the casework items raised and registered by individual councillors.

The data in the table below show that 3 out of our 5* Labour members were placed in the top 10 in the list of casework queries raised with the council on behalf of their residents, businesses and communities. Proof, if it was needed, that Labour members are leading the way when it comes to all-year-round community activity and responding efficiently to their residents' queries and concerns.

*NB: Labour's Julie Griffiths was elected as the member for Murton in a by-election held earlier this month.
