Mr Wilson, MP for Sedgefield, answers the following questions in the second part…
Why has it taken so long for Aldi to build their new store? And when will it be open?
From Michael Richardson
There’s been a lot of rumours about Hitachi and the deal not being signed yet – what’s happening with it and when can we expect construction to start?
From Tony Travis
When Hitachi gets off the ground, will local firms and suppliers in Aycliffe benefit, or will Hitachi source from outside the region?
From Malcolm Scott
The town’s football club is one of the hubs of the local community and is well supported by local people, but not businesses. Is there anything you can do to encourage local firms to get more involved with the club?
From Clive Cooper
I read somewhere that you wanted to make people get a bike so they can get to the dole office, is that true?!
