January 2026 New Year Statement
Happy New Year and thank you to everyone who has supported the concept of the Northern Alliance ‘Association’ over the years and more recently the Website created in 2025, which in retrospect should have been created in 2018 when the original ‘Core Policy’ was agreed.
The aim of the Website is to show the potential of a fully working Northern Alliance Association and how it can not only promote but also become a proactive supporting organisation.
In the Transport page we have provided an insight into the difficulties of maintaining the current ‘adopted’ Canal network and the challenges facing the ‘Disused’ Canals and the various Restoration Societies which are working to bring these Canal back into use.
In the Resources page we have provided some detailed contemporary information relating to the challenges facing both Mineral & Energy companies.
We’ve also included various other topics on Website and tried to create a balanced contemporary structure.
For 2026 we hope that the foundations of a fully working Association can be laid with the official appointment of both a Chair & Secretary.

The future of the three sites employing 1500 in Rotherham remains uncertain.
The UK needs to reduce its Energy costs to become competitive and reduce both the cost of living and production. The British Government's policies must ensure, that vital core manufacturing industries are able to compete within the World Market and that Northern jobs are secured.

Sabic confirm closure of Teeside Olefins 6 cracker
The Olefins 6 facility which produces Ethylene has been offline since 2020. Sabic which is owned by Saudi Aramco has cited the high cost of Electricity in the UK as its main reason for not bringing the Plant back on line.
The UK has the highest energy costs in the world, due to UK Government policies over recent decades. The effect of this is having a devastating effect on the viability of the Northern Economy. Ethylene production worldwide circa 316.8 Million tonnes in 2023, projected to be 406.5 Million tonnes by 2030. Production should be expanding not contracting.

Core Policy.
The Northern Alliance seeks democratic and economic fairness for the North within a renewed United Kingdom.
The Northern Alliance recognises that the North of England - the North East, North West (including Cumbria), Yorkshire and The Humber - is a place of extraordinary diversity, culture and qualities which urgently requires effective regional democratic powers and a fairer share of national resources.
We advocate for the same level of devolution, and the same distribution of the country’s resources, as currently enjoyed by the people of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
Our aim is to fully develop the potential of the North and all its fifteen million people, ensuring that all Northern resources are developed, economically, affordably, and sustainably to meet the needs of the North not only for this generation but future generations.
The Northern Alliance is built around this core vision and welcomes the mutual support of all Northern political parties which share these goals. While our focus is on the North, we are also keen to build links with parties in the other regions of England, to pursue together a modern, equitable, federal United Kingdom & Northern Ireland.
