    CTYNE & WEAU R Building PresPOLAervation Trust NEWSLETTER Issue 2 AUTUMN 2017 Through the fireplace...* Hello and a very warm welcome to members, old and new, to this second issue of our newsletter, Cupola. As 2017 draws to a close, you find us at the end of our year long Transition Project, where we have taken time to look at ourselves in the mirror, as it were, and think about how we expand the Trust into new areas and larger projects. One of the key strands to achieving this is increasing our membership, and I'm delighted to say, we've welcomed record numbers of you to the Trust this year. The biggest number in 20 years! We need you, we value you and we want more of you, so do please tell your friends! Alongside Transition, we've been grappling with lead dust, saving retail heritage, and finding out how a roof truss can unlock a mystery. Meanwhile, Staiths Friends have discovered that dog shows, light installations and heritage all go rather well together. You can read all about that and more in this issue. Enjoy the newsletter, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at a members' event soon. Yours, Kari Vickers , Deputy Manager. Back to the Wall Volunteer's Viewpoint This month's "wallists" are Virginia and Roger, two active members of the admirable Dunston Staiths Friends group, who are working closely with the Trust to sustain this iconic visitor attraction. We moved to the Staiths South Bank after they were closed for so long.

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.

Editorial Important Announcement from Newcastle City Council on the future of our parks Have YOUR say about the future of Newcastle’s Parks and Countryside sites! Over the next three-months we (the Council) will be delivering a public engagement programme to help shape and develop the council’s future vision for parks. The council is committed to improve the way it delivers parks services, keeping them in public ownership and free to use. We want to fully involve local people, community groups and partners in the future delivery of the service. We have been working with the National Trust to help work out a way forward, in particular researching the possibility of transferring the operation, delivery and maintenance of a large proportion of the city’s parks to a new charitable trust. The consultation begins on 13 February and runs through until 21 April. There will be two ways to get involved online through www.letstalknewcastle.co.uk and www.letstalkparks.co.uk You can also drop in to any of the consultations, the one in the Dene is on Saturday 11 March at the Visitor Centre from 11 – 3pm and information about the other can be found in the links above.

Policy Statement 1.1 Leazes Homes will investigate complaints as quickly as possible, keeping the complainant fully informed of the process.
