LIBERAL Democrats from across the North-East will gather tomorrow to add their voice to the call for regional government.

The party holds a conference in Gateshead Civic Centre at 10am, to give their formal backing to the campaign for a Yes vote in the referendum on regional government expected to be announced soon by the Government.

The motion to give formal support to the Yes campaign will be proposed by Berwick MP Alan Beith and seconded by Wear Valley councillor Chris Foote Wood.
