We we are proud to support Purple Tuesday 2018

NCC believes that only signs that are really nessercery should be in place to save confusion, distraction of drivers and avoid clutter.
But at times the lives of residents can be improved by adding signs, such as the one requested by residents in the below street who suffered severe inconvenience due to HGV’s taking the wrong turning following sat navs.
The problem has now been reduced greatly now.


On a cold wet day such as today residents will benefit from this new bus shelter (West Road- Eltringham )
Funded jointly by Kens NCC small scheme & #Prudhoe Town Council.
(as always we do not enter into discussions via social media but offer a range of methods for residents to contact Gordon & Ken their County Cllrs)
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.

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.
