Update 20/1/2020

NCC have been in discussions with Gateshead MBC and suggested that the 40 mph zone be extended east beyond the NCC boundary to meet up with the speed limit near the new roundabout, GMBC are in favour of this in principle.

But due to legal complications this would now delay the speed reductions planned in Northumberland.

To avoid a delay I have agreed that the speed reduction proposals within Northumberland should progress and it is hoped GMBC will start the legal process ASAP to continue as we suggested.

The Northumberland statutory notices will now be issued.

Some people may assume to reduce the speed on a road is a simple process but it involves a great amount of planning, legal work and they are always very expensive.

In addition a lot of hair pulling frustration for the County Cllr.

Visiting residential premises such as care homes to meet residents and staff to chat has always been a very important and enjoyable occasion.

Helping to keep them connected with the wider Prudhoe community.

Although regular contact has been continued throughout the pandemic it has to be carried out in a different way.

Now delighted to say that regular click collect and chat with your County Cllr sessions will be available online, a form of surgery to ask questions or just chat about anything.

We will invite others from the Prudhoe Community to join us, if residents or staff like to suggest someone.

Chat safely from your own home with a drink in hand, possibly fancy dress or a quick quiz ?

Details of the online chat events will be sent out to the care home staff contacts we have, but if you are a member of staff or a resident or a relative of someone there please e mail and we would be happy to give you the access details.
