20 Mph zones near Schools

B15F15B2-55E7-4E43-8AAA-3970D7EF8754

 

20mph zones near Schools within the County have been planned for sometime.

We are aware that such a zone near to Prudhoe West Academy is one of these that has been mentioned.

There have been delays in the roll out throughout the County and we are in discussions with NCC officers to try and ‘speed’ up the process.

It is appreciated that there has to be formal consultation on such a change and cost implications but we are concerned at the lack of progress.

Additional street lighting

 

 

A request from a resident was received to improve the street lighting in this part of the town.

NCC were contacted to look at the feasibility of this request and if the additional lighting could be provided.

Much of the current street lighting is diluted due to trees that border the road.

We are in support of additional lighting being provided, and have also asked NCC to ensure that the owner of the trees are made aware of the issue and to cut the trees back.

NCC can not just go and cut trees back on private land, there is a process to go through, sometimes this may involve legal action being taken by the Council.

It is not uncommon for landowners to totally frustrate the process.

Funding has to be sourced, which may mean that other similar projects have to be postponed or shelved.

Ken has pledged to spend up go £6K of his annual members scheme allowance to progress this scheme , (this is a massive part of his £15K annual allowance).

We will continue to keep residents informed of how this proposal progresses.

Getting a fair share for Tynedale

After being left derelict for many years with no plans to do anything with Eastwoods Park Prudhoe, so much has been done very quickly.

The abandoned tennis courts have had a major facelift, yet another example of how we are now getting a fair share for #Tynedale

NCC working with Volunteer groups helping to make people #ProudOfPrudhoe

A moving story.

Remember this ?

A new light was placed in the centre of a footpath (in fairness where the old one was)

After months of requests \ reminders and more the lamp has been moved to the side allowing for easier access.

Who would think it would be so much hassle !!

No wonder Gordon has the odd grey hair now.
