    COUNTY COUNCILLOR REPORT COUNTY COUNCILLOR WENDY PATTISON [email protected] – Tel. 07779 983072 Longhoughton Parish Joint Meeting with Longhoughton Ward Parish Chairmen - I have organised an informal meeting with all nine Chairmen of the Parish Councils which lie within the Longhoughton ward, and include, Ellingham, Edlingham, Eglingham, Rennington, Craster, Embleton, Longhoughton, Newton by the Sea and Powburn/Hedgeley. The date is September 1st 2017 at 6.30pm and will take place at the Thrunton Trout Fishery. One of the most important things we can do is to find out what we all have in common. When we share something with the people around us – no matter how small or insignificant it seems – it can help us make connections we never realised we could. I am extremely hopeful that the Chairman of Longhoughton Parish Council, Cllr Bryan Ellis, will be able to represent Longhoughton PC and join with the other 8 Parish Council Chairmen on 1st September. Crowlea Road – The flooding which has been an issue on Crowlea Road for over ten years has now had the broken drain repaired, courtesy of British Gas. All initial work and investigations were undertaken by NCC engineers. North End - Northumbrian Water have now fully repaired the drain which is believed to have been damaged back in 2007 when installing a new water supply and for the last 10 years has not been in working use until repair work was carried out in June 2017. All of the initial work and investigations were undertaken by NCC engineers. Longhoughton to Denwick road - Discussions are taking place via NCC Development Control to secure a section 59 agreement with the quarry owner Purvis Ltd for their extraordinary HGV use on this particular route 20 mph speed limit – Mr Richard McKenzie, traffic manager has advised that the traffic management plan for the village is moving forward and he is hopeful that implementation will take place during September.

For the Bishop’s Council we started the year with a submission to the Dioceses Commission which required us to demonstrate the need for the first suffragan bishop for the Diocese of Newcastle. After the Commission’s meeting held in March I was pleased to share the news that we had received permission to revive the See of Berwick, which had been in abeyance since 1572.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
