Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group Established January 1998 Chairman Jennie Stokell Vice Chairman Secretary Carol Eddy Treasurer Sheila Grey Monday 22 August 2016 David Owen, Review Officer, (Newcastle upon Tyne) Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP. Dear Sir or Madam, Ref : City of Newcastle upon Tyne - Draft Recommendations on New Electoral Arrangements - Callerton Throckley I have been asked by our Ward Counsellors to thank you for putting Walbottle back into this electoral ward. My Group are still not happy about this new ward created by apparently adding odd bits of the outer City to Newburn, Throckley, etc, to create a “patchwork” ward with little cohesion along its length once away from the riverside settlements. Our objections are as follows 1. Consultation. My Group are disappointed that the City Council have again failed to publise this consultation about the proposed changes to the ward boundaries and the implications to the people living in the areas. We have found when raising the issue at our meetings and in private conversations, that there is more interest than we would have expected once the whole project relating to the proposed changes around Throckley and Newburn are explained. This interest is across the age ranges of residents, not simply among the elderly who have memories of the Newburn Urban District Council and its governance of the area prior to Newburn, etc. inclusion in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local people are possessive of the long term history of their area and the events which make up their social and cultural heritage. They are unhappy with the proposed changes that see the historical and industrial village of Newburn wiped off the electoral scene and the addition of tiny rural/agricultural settlements scattered over a huge area being brought into the Ward. The majority of people in Newburn and Throckley have no connections with these small settlement. 1. Reflect Local Community Interests This is the second of the Commission‘s criteria, set out in Law to ensure that changes to electoral areas reflect the lives, employment and cultural activities of the populace. We do not believe that the far extended boundaries proposed for the new Throckley Callerton Ward do this. 1.1. The settlements of Newburn, Throckley and Walbottle have a collective history of heavy industry tied to the River Tyne. It is still within the memory of older people when the foundries which were on the riverside all the way up to Newburn bridge had steam hammers and other noisy equipment active throughout the night and work coloured the night sky with a high glow and often leaping flames. Descriptions like these are passed onto children by grandparents etc. creating a cultural adhesive which encourages children to take an interest in the immediate past and local history. 1.2. The vast acres added to the ward (Callerton Throckley) do not have these or similar associations. The area to the north east of the B6324 is agricultural land with small groups of houses which can hardly be called settlements. Towards the proposed new ward’s eastern boundary is Woolsington which can only be called a settlement because of all the new houses built in the last 20/30 years. 1.3 None of the groups of houses nor any newly developed settlements have any links or associations with the villages of Newburn, Throckley and Walbottle. What is more to confirm this lack of links there are no major roads directly linking these “villages” to Newburn, Throckley and Walbottle, nor any public transport. For any elected Counsellor who does not drive, visiting his/her constituents near the eastern boundaries will involve journeys by bus into Newcastle and out again, all very time consuming and expensive. 1.4. The areas to the east of the B6324 look as if they have been attached to the settlements of Newburn, Throckley and Walbottle simply because the people in the City deciding the where the new boundaries should lie, could not think of where to attach this huge area with very, very few people. Further thought should earnestly be given to placing the whole of this area to the wards in the north east if the City Boundary. 1.5 Woolsington, Kenton Bank Foot and the three Callerton settlements are likely to grow in size in the immediate future as their proximity to the airport and Newcastle Great Park will hopefully bring more jobs and therefore more houses. The Metro is also close to this area which allows residents more flexibility, east to N. west but not south west to Newburn, Throckley and Walbottle. These facts mean that this area will develop of its own accord and the people living in these settlements develop autonomy which will drive them further from the people living in the older villages to the south and closer to Ponteland and Morpeth both of which are in Northumberland. 2. Promote Effective and Convenient Local Government The sheer acreage of this Ward is going to work against this proposal. How can three Counsellors address all the population and their needs (real or imagined) when they have to cover so much arid ground once away from their “metropolitan centre” along the River. Apart from the A69 going west and the A696 traversing N.E. there are only B and unnumbered roads throughout the area from the A69 to the ward boundary at the other side of the airport. Counsellors will find considerable difficulty travelling to attend surgeries, particularly during the winter as they will be for the most part driving on ungritted road which are in a poor state of repair. Will it be cost effective for Counsellors to give over a Saturday morning for a surgery in a tiny settlement like Callerton, or will the occupants of the Callerton villages have to travel to Woolsington - a nightmare journey if you don’t have a car. 3. Name of Ward Dropping the name Outer West Ward is a positive step and one which my Group approve. However, they are unhappy with other aspects of the name for the new ward. 3.1. Newburn My Group are very concerned that these proposals remove the name of Newburn from the list of City Wards. Newburn has existed since the 14th Century and can show far more history and interest than most of the other wards in the Council, save those within the medieval City Walls. 3.2. If the name of Newburn is to be dropped from the ward name, Throckley should take precedence over Callerton. Even putting Black Callerton together with Callerton, the size of Throckley exceeds their population by at least 3 thousand households. We as a Group would ask the Commission to give primacy of name to Throckley in the event that Throckley Callerton is retained as the name of the ward. I am dispatching this letter by e-mail as I have just realised today is the final date for co0mme3nts and objections. The hard copy will follow. Yours faithfully, Jennie Stokell, (Miss) F.I.H. Chairman, Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group. Cc Anne Whittaker Clls. Wright, Franks, Fairley .

  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan
    Bridges over the Tyne Session Plan There are seven bridges over the Tyne between central Newcastle and Gateshead but there have been a number of bridges in the past that do not exist anymore. However the oldest current bridge, still standing and crossing the Tyne is actually at Corbridge, built in 1674. Pon Aelius is the earliest known bridge. It dates from the Roman times and was built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at the same time as Hadrian’s Wall around AD122. It was located where the Swing Bridge is now and would have been made of wood possibly with stone piers. It last- ed until the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Two altars can be seen in the Great North Museum to Neptune and Oceanus. They are thought to have been placed next to the bridge at the point where the river under the protection of Neptune met the tidal waters of the sea under the protection of Oceanus. The next known bridge was the Medieval Bridge. Built in the late 12th century, it was a stone arched bridge with huge piers. The bridge had shops, houses, a chapel and a prison on it. It had towers with gates a drawbridge and portcullis reflecting its military importance. The bridge collapsed during the great flood of 1771, after three days of heavy rain, with a loss of six lives. You can still see the remains of the bridge in the stone archways on both the Newcastle and Gateshead sides of the river where The Swing Bridge is today.

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.

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).
