Bearing in mind these changes have been known about at local authority officer level for some six months, and, contrary to comments on social media, there has been a massive amount of consultation with local authorities, politicians and other stakeholders, these changes were only being requested AFTER the registrations were submitted, Go North East is doing a pretty damn good job during trying times. It’s peak holiday season with many colleagues needing to cancel their holidays just to get this information out to customers in good time, as well as work bloody long (12-16 hour) days (and won’t get paid for these extra hours nor likely get the time back).
Why would they request changes be made before the public have been informed?
That would rid them of the opportunity to go to the newspapers and cry about how bad GNE are and how much they care about the people!
If they did that work behind the scenes then the public will never know and they won't get the recognition they 'deserve'
