Police / Councillor patrol
Saturday night was spent out on patrol with Northumbria Police in #Prudhoe.
The latest of our combined patrols, working together to help support the #PrudhoeCommunity
Occasionally we hear inaccurate information and wish to reassure the public again as follows-
There is 24 hr Police cover for the Town.
The new Police station is open for the same hours as the old one.
The old building was in a poor condition and was no longer fit for purpose, much of the space was unused for many years.
The number of people going into the old building reduced greatly as many would prefer to make contact via telephone or online, the new reception area is brighter and feels more approachable & accessible now the police / public interaction has increased.
The Community team work a variety of shifts including night shifts.
Attention to areas is directed as a result of information being provided.
There is no reduction in the establishment at the Prudhoe base from the old base, in fact it has recently been increased.
Prudhoe is a safe place to live work or visit.

Tree investigations
At this time of year NCC receives an increase in the number of reports regarding trees and hedges.
Not all trees come under the care & control of NCC.
We have been contacted by a number of residents who have reported concerns about trees and bushes on land controlled by Shenstone Properties Ltd
Residents have stated that the customer service provided by this company is exceptionally poor.
This is also the experience of many residents and local authorities elsewhere in the Country.
We are working with officers from NCC to try and support our residents but with the lack of co operation from the company this is proving to be very frustrating.
We will continue to provide information as soon as we can.

Moor road
The last administration left us with a right nightmare of issues in this part of town, but as promised we are working through them.
Out doing home visits this sunny Sunday afternoon in #Prudhoe
Residents have contacted us about a range of issues.
A lot of very positive feedback about the high standard of the major road repairs on Moor road incl new lights, drainage & surface.
In between meetings collected 4 cones which had been left by a contractor, although NCC were awaiting them to to be collected, decided to pack them in the boot of the car and take them to the depot to tidy the place up.
#JobDone
(The roads around where the cones were have also had substantial investment in them).
After many years of neglect we are dealing with the backlog of many roads in need of investment, we don’t complain we just do it.

Internet connectivity
Good connectivity is vital in this age for business & households.
The now familiar green boxes are not pretty but required.
This box has recently been installed on South road Prudhoe where there was a particular major issue and it is now live and providing a good service to many homes and business.
To gain this additional box took us a lot of time and effort dealing with Openreach nationally.
We are in discussions with NCC at a high level who are in turn are meeting service providers nationally to push forward better connectivity throughout the County.
If you are experiencing issues with your broadband please contact your provider.
- Several people have not realised that they must contact their provider (or a competitor if they wish to use fibre broadband, it does not just happen when a green box appears close to their premises.
There is a range of information available on the NCC iNorthumberland website to assist.
