By the time of the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1898 although the study site is shown to be still undeveloped, Dinnington Colliery, to the north of the site makes a significant change to the former rural landscape. The area around the site has developed over a period of many years but this process was accelerated in the 20th century to meet the needs of a growing population and increased industrialisation within the surrounding area. The map dated 1966 shows the settlement of Hazlerigg to the south east of the site and the surrounding area becoming increasingly developed.

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.

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).
