Cameron Wallace is a digital designer and branding strategist who has launched several start-ups — and now he’s focused on making Birtley North and Lamesley better for everyone who lives there.
A lifelong North Easterner, Cameron has seen how government shortcomings can drag communities down. He’s determined to tackle problems head-on and ensure residents are heard and respected.
Cameron’s priorities include:
- Better youth facilities — improving and modernising youth clubs so young people have safe spaces, proper infrastructure, and real opportunities. It is your right to have access to leisure facilities… with working infrastructure.
- Accountable public transport — holding operators to account for decent, affordable, accessible services across Gateshead, while pushing NECA and Labour to bring bus routes back into public ownership as soon as possible.
- Visible, active councillors — being present in the ward, listening to residents, and acting on concerns — not taking votes for granted.
- Standing against hate — urging Gateshead Council to do everything in its power to resist hate in our community, including hate from political groups such as Reform, and to protect all residents and all protected characteristics from hate speech.
- A vibrant, safer community — tackling issues directly and creating opportunities so people feel safe, optimistic, and proud of where they live.
“Being in the North East my whole life has shown me that government shortcomings can worsen an area very quickly and I aim to mitigate these problems!” — Cameron Wallace
