  • The Future of Newcastle's Parks and Allotments

    The Future of Newcastle's Parks and Allotments

    The Future of Newcastle’s Parks And Allotments Newcastle City Council is having to rethink how it delivers many of its services, including the city’s parks and allotments. We want to get your views on our ideas so far, and hear from you about your ideas on how parks and allotments in Newcastle should be run in future. Why we are doing this? Over the past seven years, our parks budget has reduced by over 90%, meaning that finding new ways of financing and running the city’s parks is essential. We need to do this whilst staying committed to improving the way we deliver parks and allotments, keeping them in public ownership, safe, free to use, and making sure that local people, community groups and partners are fully involved in the future delivery of the service. Our proposals so far… We have been working with the National Trust, benefitting from their experience in preserving national heritage across the country, to help us find a positive way forward for Newcastle. In particular, we have been researching the possibility of transferring the operation, delivery and maintenance of a large proportion of the city’s parks and allotments to a new Charitable Trust (Charity). This is very much a work in progress, and we would be delighted if you would consider providing your thoughts and views to help shape the way forward. Caring for Parks Running a park involves lots of activities, all of which need to be funded, for example: • Cutting the grass • Planting, weeding, pruning • Tree inspections and care • Litter picking, cleaning, waste removal • Running events • Raising funds, and Page 1 of 7 • A whole lot more! But parks do not make as much money as they cost to run.
  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan

    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.

As 2017 draws to a close, you find us at the end of our year long Transition Project, where we have taken time to look at ourselves in the mirror, as it were, and think about how we expand the Trust into new areas and larger projects. One of the key strands to achieving this is increasing our membership, and I'm delighted to say, we've welcomed record numbers of you to the Trust this year. The biggest number in 20 years! We need you, we value you and we want more of you, so do please tell your friends! Alongside Transition, we've been grappling with lead dust, saving retail heritage, and finding out how a roof truss can unlock a mystery. Meanwhile, Staiths Friends have discovered that dog shows, light installations and heritage all go rather well together. You can read all about that and more in this issue. Enjoy the newsletter, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at a members' event soon. Yours, Kari Vickers , Deputy Manager. Back to the Wall Volunteer's Viewpoint This month's "wallists" are Virginia and Roger, two active members of the admirable Dunston Staiths Friends group, who are working closely with the Trust to sustain this iconic visitor attraction. We moved to the Staiths South Bank after they were closed for so long.

    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 23 February 2017 ‘Let’s talk transport – Re-Newcastle’ – development programme update Graham Grant, Head of Transport Investment, Place Directorate 1. Summary 1.1 This report is to provide an update to the Overview and Scrutiny (O&S) Committee on the themes of work identified in the ‘Let’s Talk Transport – Re-Newcastle’ report of July 2014 and subsequent Cabinet reports including March and November 2016. 2. Introduction 2.1 In July 2014, a report to the Council Cabinet noted that our Local Plan recognises that an improved transport network is fundamentally important to the future economic growth and liveability of Newcastle. The paper outlined an approach to take forward the Council’s commitment to upgrade our transport system by helping people to move more freely around, across and within the city. 2.2 In line with the transparent and democratic processes of the Council, the work associated with progressing these recommendations are subject to regular review by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. 3. North East Local Growth Deal schemes 3.1 Following recent announcements by government about Local Growth Deal funding the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (the LEP) are conducting a review of the existing Growth Deal programme. Newcastle City Council, along with all other partners in the North East Combined Authority area are taking part in this review. 3.2 Newcastle City Council originally secured funding for four transport schemes through the first round of the North East Local Growth Deal. The Full Business Case for Scotswood Bridgehead has been submitted and will be assessed against the North East Combined Authority’s assurance framework.

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.
