Hamburger Pimp Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 The cut'n'paste kid is correct. Leisure centres are costly to run and there simply isn't the demand for one in Bedlington. There are perfectly adequate facilities in Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington.What Bedlington needs is a Wetherspoons pub, a new estate agent and somewhere for the ladies to get their hair done.

Merlin Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Merlin,Do you know why there has been a push for new houses in Wansbeck as a whole. The money collected in business rates in the area goes down to Whitehall, it is then mixed with tax money and redistributed back to the local councils depending on how many houses they have in their area.(One of the criteria anyway) More houses equels more cash, and obviousley including community charges, so there should be the money for better leisure facilities for the people who inhabit these cash cows! Not many years ago Wansbeck was sending a lot more cash down than it was getting back, the new houses will have redressed that imbalance somewhat but I don't know today's figures. As for where a facility might go, my money would be on the old chestnut of Galagher Park!I just thought the cooncillors could get more money in their pockets by building houses,what with all the back handers like! :lol:

Malcolm Robinson Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Getting back to topic looks like WDC will be no more after March next year, but then I guess everyone will know that after being consulted about any change, seeing as it represents a fundamental shift in local democracy! If the MP's are not happy about the change and the only person crowing about it is the chief exc of NCC and it failed the public vote just who is putting it into action and more to the point why? Merlin,I see Newbiggin has put in to become a Parish council, I have no doubt Bedlington will do the same but a word of advice, look for the hidden agenda with the people that propose it!!!!
Pete Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Pete,So glad to hear that you still enjoy life! Cambois would be fine for me right now.Enjoy, JoeLooking forward to getting up there Joe, only going for a week but will be packing a lot into that week. I usually get up there twice a year but only weekends which does not give me much time to do a lot.I have got some found memories of Cambois, when we were kids we used to get the bus to Cambois just to catch the ferry to Blyth, don't think that ferry exists anymore.We are going to visit Beamish museum as we have never been there before.Regards Pete
Pete Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 aah'l fetch me camera for that Pete :lol:Al be posing on the beach
