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.

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.
