Newcastle Upon Tyne Councillor ANITA LOWER Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group Newcastle City Council Opposition Office Room 136, Civic Centre Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8QH Phone: The Review Officer (Newcastle upon Tyne) E-mail: The Local Government Boundary Commission www.newcastle.gov.uk For England 14th Floor Millbank Tower 21-24 Millbank London SW1P 4QP Email: [email protected] BY POST AND EMAIL 19th August 2016 Our reference: AL/LH Dear Sir, Alternative submission for Castle, Cheviot View and Callerton and Throckley wards. Following on from Newcastle City Council’s approval of the draft warding recommendations I would like to submit an alternative option in respect of the above 3 wards. One of the major objections to the new warding pattern was the subdivision of the Kingston Park Neighbourhood Forum area between wards. I will not cover those again as I have attached my previous letter at appendix 1. The overview is as follows:- (The following descriptions are of the areas in each ward – I am not suggesting these would be the proposed names). See map in Appendix 2. Ward A - revised Castle ward, including Dinnington, Hazelrigg and Brunswick villages, Great Park and Woolsington village. Approx. 8029 electors (variance -4%) Ward B – ward including Kingston Park and Newbiggin Hall Estate. Approx. 8881 electors (variance +6.5%) Ward C - revised Callerton and Throckley ward, now excluding Woolsington village and including the area west of Newbiggin Hall Estate (called Bedeburn ward in Woolsington parish). Approx. 8940 (variance (+7%). The boundary between Ward B and C uses the existing parish ward boundary in Woolsington between polling districts ZEN and ZCN (see map Appendix 2). This boundary, running the length of Newbiggin Lane, is already a natural boundary between Newbiggin If you need this information in another format or language, please contact the writer. Hall Estate to the east and the three smaller estates of Whorlton Grange, Westgarth and Hareydene to the west. As is demonstrated by the parish wards, there is no natural centre to these areas with no local focus on shopping or services each area has its own school, shop and community space. The road at Newbiggin Lane is a natural boundary across the A696 to Bankfoot. The new Ward B would be better divided from Ward A along Brunton Road and Kingston Park Road as this runs across from Newbiggin Lane to the A1, making a natural boundary between the established Kingston Park Estate and build in the Great Park. The new Ward A (Castle) would include the new build in Newcastle Great Park as well as the villages of Hazlerigg, Dinnington, Brunswick and Woolsington, all of which are covered by parish councils. The new Callerton & Throckley ward would be within tolerance but would be geographically smaller. We suggest the following ward names:- Ward A – Castle ward Ward B – West View ward (rather than Cheviot View as the Cheviots cannot be seen from the ward) Ward C – Callerton and Throckley ward. Yours faithfully Councillor Anita Lower Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group If you need this information in another format or language, please contact the writer. .

  • Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group
    Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group Established January 1998 Chairman Jennie Stokell Vice Chairman Secretary Carol Eddy Treasurer Sheila Grey Monday 22 August 2016 David Owen, Review Officer, (Newcastle upon Tyne) Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP. Dear Sir or Madam, Ref : City of Newcastle upon Tyne - Draft Recommendations on New Electoral Arrangements - Callerton Throckley I have been asked by our Ward Counsellors to thank you for putting Walbottle back into this electoral ward. My Group are still not happy about this new ward created by apparently adding odd bits of the outer City to Newburn, Throckley, etc, to create a “patchwork” ward with little cohesion along its length once away from the riverside settlements. Our objections are as follows 1. Consultation. My Group are disappointed that the City Council have again failed to publise this consultation about the proposed changes to the ward boundaries and the implications to the people living in the areas. We have found when raising the issue at our meetings and in private conversations, that there is more interest than we would have expected once the whole project relating to the proposed changes around Throckley and Newburn are explained. This interest is across the age ranges of residents, not simply among the elderly who have memories of the Newburn Urban District Council and its governance of the area prior to Newburn, etc. inclusion in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local people are possessive of the long term history of their area and the events which make up their social and cultural heritage.

    Newcastle Great Park Key details Name Newcastle Great Park Location Newcastle Number of dwellings More than 4,400 expected Date first homes sold 2002 Homes delivered to date Around 1,500 Percentage of affordable homes 6% (plus £1 million contribution for affordable homes off-site) Average house price £341,000 Road vehicle trips forecast 3,628 AM peak; 3,708 PM peak external trips (many of which relate to employment not residential dwellings) Walking distance to railway station 33 mins (Tyne & Wear Metro) Total land area 484 ha Background and context of development One of the largest housing developments in the north-east of England, Newcastle Great Park is a major urban extension to the north of Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. Gaining outline planning consent in 2000, it was able to meet the ‘very special circumstances’ required for green belt release, in an era when strong Brownfield First policies were in place. This may have been aided by an agreement that 1 initially linked development at NGP with brownfield development in inner areas of Newcastle, aiming for a ratio of two-thirds brownfield development to one-third greenfield. The site is large and contains a diverse range of housing types, plus many areas that are still in progress or yet to be developed. According to the 2000 outline consent, development within each of the constituent cells must be carried out according to a Development Site Strategy Statement approved by the council for that cell. The first sections to be built were Cells H and I to the east of the A1.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

    Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to TYNE AND WEAR meet your needs INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Public consultation 15 March - 4 June 2010 Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to meet your needs Public consultation People in Newcastle make 47 million bus journeys annually - that’s an average of more than 173 journeys a year for every resident! Nexus, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) want to make sure the network of bus services in the area meets residents’ needs. To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project (see below). We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in Newcastle, which you can find in this document. We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You’ll find details of different ways to respond on the back page of this brochure. This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. Copies of the Bus Strategy can be downloaded from www.nexus.org.uk/busstrategy.
