Archaeology dig in Prudhoe
Delighted to support this important project.
Through two working weeks September 9th-20th 2019 an archaeological dig funded by The Land of Oak and Iron National Heritage Lottery Fund landscape project with the assistance of Northumberland County Council will take place in the Cockshott Dene at Prudhoe. Prudhoe’s growth from the mid 1850s was founded on the railway enabling easy extraction of coal. The coal mining has been history since the early 1960s and most of the physical remains cleared. There are remarkable survivals in the Cockshott Dene and the dig seeks to understand their context.

Major road investment continues in Prudhoe
We are investing massively in our roads, after many years of neglect in this part of the County major roadworks continue.

Dog exercise area
As the new dog exercise area is being developed we delighted to see that the bin has been removed from next to this seat and re-positioned a short distance away at the entrance to the park.
Small changes such as this make a big difference for the #PrudhoeCommunity
Reminders- please clear up after your dogs, free dog bags are available from the Miners lamp cafe for those signed up to the green dog walkers scheme.

The East centre
The ‘East’ is owned by Northumberland County Council.
In 2017 the building was marketed for sale by the previous administration, it was clear that no consultation had been made with the users, employees or others and the future of the main users the youth service was put in doubt.
This sale was stopped.
Roadside adverts
ROADSIDE ADVERTISING
Comments have been made to the PTC which have been passed onto us regarding roadside advertising throughout the town.
The comments refer to the size and location of some.
If you are a business that is advertising in such a way can you please ensure the owners of the land have given their permission, the signs are in a good state and are not obscuring the view of the highway or premises.
It is clear to everyone that we are totally committed to supporting local business and encourage people to #ShopLocal Visit Prudhoe

Traffic issues
Complaints have been received about a number of vehicles travelling at very high speed – both entering and leaving the 30mph area as shown in the photo.
This is not the case of a few miles above the limit but far greater.
The Police are now monitoring the speed of vehicles travelling along this road & taking positive action.
We have also enquired into the possibility of reducing the speed limit between the 30mph zone and the bypass.
Essity opportunities
Essity is the biggest employer in this area.
An international company with a proud history that really supports the Prudhoe Community.
We are delighted to have a great relationship with Essity and are keen to encourage many more local people to apply for employment opportunities with Essity.

Prudhoe tourism offer
We believe that Prudhoe has not taken advantage of the huge benefits of tourism which is now a massive part of the Northumberland economy.
We want to show off what is great about this fantastic town.
Yes people will think of Prudhoe Castle.
But we also have Cherryburn, fine walks along the riverside & beautiful woods, the revamped Eastwoods park.
Prudhoe Waterworld & The fuse including the Cinema
Our small family run businesses, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants.
One day events such as the Miners run & Town fair.
Not forgetting the fantastic Christmas lights.
Greater emphasis now on art & culture.
We are very #ProudOfPrudhoe and want to show the area off.
If we improve the tourism offer greater job opportunities will be created.
Increase in pride for all, we already know that Prudhoe is a great place to live work visit learn & invest in.
A town that has a long history but also aspirations, opportunities and ambition for all.
