West wylam sewage pumping station.

462C5541-4A06-4567-8A0F-2B78AC5D0285

Update 13/9/19

The road is back open again, and we have been assured by Northumbrian Water that they do not intend to close it again, but MAY have to use traffic lights on the stretch of road as they carry out verge work.

In addition other roadworks MAY be needed close to the site which will be controlled by traffic lights.

They expect to be off the West Wylam site by December 2019.

The contractors have carried out some road and footpath repairs near Eastwoods villas.

NCC have also done some road patching, but this is a temporary measure until the NW work is completed and substantial road repairs are carried out as soon as practicable.

This will be part of our major road investment programme for Prudhoe.

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.

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.

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

BABD4B76-013D-466E-8E6D-EC076654A12B.jpeg

 

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.
