NEWCASTLE MP Tim Crakanthorp is no longer on the Stockton Beach Taskforce which he helped to establish in 2020 after a years-long campaign.

Mr Crakanthorp has been conspicuously missing from the picture of the taskforce's success in getting some sand back onto Stockton beach as part of a longer-term renourishment program.
