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.

  • The Newcastle Upon Tyne Bid for the 2020 UK Recovery Walk
    Walk with us! The Newcastle upon Tyne bid for the 2020 UK Recovery Walk Let us tell you about Newcastle The history of Newcastle upon Tyne dates back almost 2,000 years, during which it has been controlled by the Romans, the Angles and the Norsemen amongst others. Originally known by its Roman name Pons Aelius, the name "Newcastle" has been used since the Norman conquest of England. Due to its prime location on the River Tyne, the town developed greatly during the Middle Ages and it was to play a major role in the Industrial Revolution, being granted city status in 1882. Today, the city is a major retail, commercial and cultural centre. Newcastle is the unofficial capital of the North East. It is one of the most iconic cities in Britain, famous for its industrial heritage. It’s a thriving City and home to 477,466 people including 25,000 students (approximately). We also attract over 2 million tourists and visitors every year coming to see the beautiful mix of old and new that make this city such a wonderful place to live and to visit. We are passionate people, proud of our history, heritage and city. Newcastle and its inhabitants are friendly and welcoming, in fact we were ranked in the top 5 friendliest Cities in England. Newcastle prides its self on hosting events and festivals throughout the city that cover a multitude of genres. For example, the annual Newcastle Pride march, and in 2020 Newcastle will also be hosting the National Pride march. Great North Run the biggest half marathon in the world.

  • TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES of TYNE and WEAR
    ARCHAEOLOGY of the TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES of TYNE and WEAR An Illustrated Guide NEWCASTLE GATESHEAD NORTH TYNESIDE SOUTH TYNESIDE SUNDERLAND A GUIDE TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES OF TYNE AND WEAR by R Whaley, J Morrison and D Heslop Newcastle City Council Tyne & Wear Specialist Conservation Team 2008 1 PREFACE By Alan Rudd Over the centuries the North of England attracted a wide variety of defensive structures to counter threats from both near neighbours and Europe. This led to the development and building of a large number of defensive structures varying from the Roman Wall to the medieval castles for which Northumberland is renowned, up to the twentieth century fortifications of pillboxes and nuclear bunkers. These structures cover a wide variety of types and design, reflecting the military engineering techniques of the time. The period covered in this book is from 1900 to 2000, the Twentieth century, a period of rapidly changing military threats and hardware. We have seen in the period the advent of the plane and the tank and the wane of the military threat from close quarters, to the development of the nuclear bomb and the long-range Cruise missile. In Tyne and Wear a large number of Military structures have been built in this period, these structures began with the redevelopment of the coastal batteries on the Tyne at the start of the century. The batteries built at both Tynemouth and South Shields were at the time “state of the art” with all new guns and emplacements. The next building period came with the onset of the First World War, when some new structures were build though little remains today.
