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.

Please reverse the decision on the Dene adn Manor Park ward boundariues decision and choose Newcastle Council’s Option 1 for area C as this is more in line with our communities and services. Thank you, Karon Alderman 1 ‐‐ Jonathan Ashby Review Assistant LGBCE From: Sent: 19 August 2016 13:07 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Draft recommendations for Newcastle City Council Good Morning, I have attached an extract from your document concerning the above issue which is a little confusing - apologies if you are already aware of this.. As I reside in North Walbottle I have always thought that we have little in common with the existing Newburn ward and fully support the creation of a new Chapel ward and North Walbottle's inclusion within it. However, on reading the document, there is an apparent contradiction (which I assume is a simple slip of the pen/keyboard) - I have highlighted the error in yellow, and which should read simply Walbottle and not North Walbottle? Thank you.

    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.
