Supporting business

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.

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.

20 Mph zones near Schools

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.
