PRESENTATION The Chairman was pleased to welcome Rothbury and Coquetdale Youth Project who wished to explain what activities the youth project had been involved in over the last few years. Representatives present included Tony Sandford, Graham Lockwood, Stuart Athey and students. The Rothbury and Coquetdale Youth Project were thankful for the opportunity to address the Council and showed a video which explained the history of the project. Activities included a gliding residential, trips to the Theatre Royal in Newcastle, Alnwick Playhouse and local productions in Rothbury, one to one sessions to assist with further education, finding jobs and personal problems. Mr. Athey explained that the gliding residential had been a one-off opportunity which had been enjoyed immensely by the students. It took time to build 2 APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1 relationships with the young people and relationships were the key to good youth work. Councillor Bridgett explained that he had been involved in the project for a number of years and thanked all those involved which had helped him to develop to the position he now held. The funding from Alnwick District Council helped build a future for young people. In answer to a question, it was confirmed that the young people participated in community activities such as litter picks and the cleaning of telephone boxes. The students had particularly enjoyed the gliding activity but were also grateful for the opportunity to meet several times a week. The Chairman thanked those present for attending and was happy to see what could be done. 191. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE The Chairman reported that:- • He had attended various functions including: greeting new students from St. Cloud University; a preview of the Alnwick Music festival; Battle of Britain service; meetings with various Town and Parish Councils, presentation of Regimental Colours to the Queen’s Own Yeomanry at Alnwick Castle. • A trophy had been received for the work at The Park at the Northumbria in Bloom awards at Alnwick Garden. An award had also been given to Bill Pringle, the Council’s Environmental Services Supervisor in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Northumbria in Bloom. • A Remembrance Service was to be held on Sunday 11th November and was open to all Members who were able to attend. The Chairman of the Council referred to the recent tragedy on the A1 and suggested that a meeting should be arranged with representatives from the Highways Authority and Northumbria Police. Action to address the problem was long overdue and had been highlighted in a study by Arup four years ago. Several of the Members commented on the unsatisfactory crossings on the A1 and were in support of a meeting with the relevant authorities to progress the matter. It was noted that there were a larger number of speed cameras on the A1 and A697 north of the border. Problems also arose in Newton on the Moor which was not equipped for diversions when the A1 was shut. RESOLVED: that the Chairman of the Council arrange a meeting with the Highways Authority and Northumbria Police to address the problems on the A1. 3 APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1 192.

DECISIONS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALL-IN PROCEDURES In accordance with paragraph 13.9 of Part 4 of the Constitution, it was reported that the following decisions had been made since the last meeting of the Council, which had not been subject to the Call-In Procedure due to the fact that they were urgent, namely:- Minute No./ Item Reason Committee 121/07-08 Regional Spatial Strategy Comments had been submitted – Comments on in advance of the deadline of 6th Operations Proposed Changes May August, 2007 prior to Executive 2007 consideration of the item by the Committee. 4 APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1 122/07-08 Briefing on Comments had been submitted Northumberland County in advance of the deadline of Operations Council’s Minerals and 10th August, 2007 prior to Executive Wastes Development consideration of the item by the Framework preferred Committee. options for the Core Strategy, Site Specific Allocations and Policies and the Development Control Framework 195. LOCAL GOVERNMENT REORGANISATION UPDATE At the Special Meeting of the Council on 14th August, 2007 it had been agreed that a Local Government Reorganisation Working Group be established. The first meeting of the working group had been held on 26th September, 2007 when consideration was given to the terms of reference. The proposed terms of reference were presented to Members of the Council for approval. The Chief Executive reported that concern had been expressed by the Chairman of the Policy Scrutiny and Overview Committee regarding the lack of accountability and scrutiny and depending on what was agreed by Members, it might be necessary to amend the fourth term of reference regarding delegation of authority to the Chief Executive in the event that an urgent decision was required. Members had been sent a copy of the judgement for the Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council High Court judicial review. The Chief Executive understood that an appeal against the decision was likely to be made to the Court of Appeal. He advised that the joint Northumberland judicial review action by Alnwick, Berwick, Castle Morpeth and Blyth Valley was ‘stayed’ awaiting the outcome of the Shrewsbury and Atcham case and neither side would incur any further costs until the earlier case was settled. It was suggested that members might wish to add a further recommendation giving delegated authority to the Chief Executive following consultation with the Leader of the Council to withdraw the legal challenge if this was considered appropriate in light of on-going discussions. The Leader of the Council stated that in some circumstances it would be necessary for the working group to respond quickly and it had therefore been decided that it should comprise of a small carefully balanced number of Members although all Members were invited to attend and take part in meetings and several had participated at the first meeting.

The overall project focuses on microbusinesses, defined as those which employ fewer than 10 staff (full-time equivalents), in the rural areas of the counties of Durham, Northumberland and Tees Valley. The project’s broad aims are to ascertain the nature and needs of rural microbusinesses and to understand their existing relationships with business support agencies and where these relationships could be usefully developed. Other reports produced so far by the project include a review of business support services under the title Providing Advice and Information in Support of Rural Microbusinesses and an interim review of the survey of microbusinesses Rural Microbusinesses in the North of England: A Survey . This report has been prepared by Marian Raley and Andrew Moxey of the Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) at the University of Newcastle. Other members of the microbusiness team at CRE include Matthew Gorton, Philip Lowe, Jeremy Phillipson and Hilary Talbot. CRE would like to thank Mike Coombes and Simon Raybould of CURDS at the University of Newcastle for providing the Urbanisation Index scores underpinning the survey, and UK BORDERS at the University of Edinburgh for providing the digital map data allowing the mapping of Urbanisation Scores onto postcodes and business addresses.

Conclusions 41 9. References 45 10. Appendices 48 2 1. Executive Summary • Recent research has highlighted an increasing separation of work and residential location as commuting journey lengths increase. This is particularly the case for rural residents, who tend to have longer commutes than urban residents. Whilst commuters bring money to their place of residence that has been earned outside the locality, they also represent a leakage of money from the locality often commuting for work is associated with commuting for other activities, including retail and leisure spending.

    ROW/3176232/M1 • This Order, Dated 20 June 2016, Is Made Under Section 53(2)(B) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

    Order Decision Hearings held on 14 March 2018 and 17 December 2019 by Sue Arnott FIPROW an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Decision date: 28 January 2021 Order Ref: ROW/3176232/M1 • This Order, dated 20 June 2016, is made under Section 53(2)(b) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is known as the Northumberland County Council Definitive Map Modification Order (No. 12) 2016. • It proposes to modify the definitive map and statement for the area by recording a byway open to all traffic in the Parishes of Craster and Rennington, as shown on the Order map and described in the Order schedule. • There were three objections and one representation outstanding when Northumberland County Council submitted the Order for confirmation to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. • In accordance with Paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 15 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 I have given notice of my proposal to confirm the Order with modifications. One objection has been submitted in response. Summary of Decision: The Order is confirmed without the modifications previously proposed. Procedural matters 1. If confirmed with the modifications set out in paragraph 67 of my interim Order Decision issued on 7 February 2019, the Order would record on the definitive map and statement a byway open to all traffic (BOAT) as proposed but over only that part of the Order route between points Q, R and S1 (as marked on the modified Order map). It would not record the remaining section (S1-S), essentially on the basis that this section does not meet the criteria for recording a BOAT on the definitive map but is more properly regarded as forming part of the ordinary road network.
