ALL CHANGE
Jessie Joe Jacobs is fighting to to transform our public transport as Mayor of the Tees Valley
Born and bred on Teesside and with a background in the charity sector Jessie Joe Jacobs knows what life is like for ordinary people. She gets how huge the area’s potential is. But she also gets how that potential is wasted if we can’t get from one place to another. Teesside’s bus network isn’t fit for purpose. Routes have been axed, leaving communities cut off. Private bus companies in Teesside have some of the highest profit margins despite the service being one of the worst in the country. Jessie said: “The bottom line is, we pay more for a worse service. The Tory Mayor has focussed on gimmicks
instead of tackling the problem.”
Jessie will create the world-class bus system our area deserves; one run for local people, not for profit. Cheaper fares, more routes and cleaner vehicles. Jessie will use her knowledge of our communities to get it done. Jessie will be the UK’s first female Metro Mayor if elected next May. Her campaign will be a key test of Labour’s fightback in our region.
