The election was declared on Thursday 23 March and therefore, in the next few weeks, Joan Gray, Mike Dixon and John D Clare are going to try to do what we did last election and knock every door in Aycliffe North and Middridge ward. There are about 5,000, so please understand if we miss you or you are out when we call. If you wish to make sure we speak to you, please email us ANandM2017@outlook.com, and we will contact you to make a specific appointment at your convenience. We also understand if you do not wish to speak to us – please just email us, and we will remember not to knock your door and will just leave a calling card with our election promises on it. Joan Gray, Mike Dixon and John D Clare
