Malcolm Robinson Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Anyone got a picture or any information about the Bedlington Flag? Or the coat of arms used by BUDC? I believe the motto was 'de profundis'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Hogg Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think the best place/people to ask would be the ones at the archives at Woodhorn Malcolm thats the best i can think of, all you need to get into the archives is a form of I.D. (passport, driving license, council tax bill or utility bill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not sure I ever saw a flag but the motto 'de profundis' was also the motto att Westridge school. It was found beneath the shield on the school badge and the mosaic shield that hung in the entrance hall. Both had a white cross of St.Cuthbert on a dark blue background. You can see the shield in some of the school photos in the gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Any chance we can have the old councillors back?Without wanting to offend....It has always been my opinion that a lot of the problems Bedlington has had over the decades is the lack of councilors who were,nt nodding dogs to those over the water.But I do see changes for the better and look forward to the future, mind you I hope its not 40+ years to late.

Malcolm Robinson Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 why cannot we have the three re-unite for a better bedlington...........You mean the way Ashington was allowed to set up.........a single council which has a decent amount of funding.The boundaries were set here by the actions of a certain group and as they are on this board I will allow them to explain to everyone why they did that.........

Stephen Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I believe that if a petition signed by 10% of electors within each parish is submitted to NCC asking for a Community Governance Review to merge the parishes, then the County have to consider it (and it is the County who have the power to set the boundaries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it not the Boundary Commission who sets the boundaries? WDC suggested them at LGR. If we did have one council...... immediate saving..........2/3rds of the current staffing and overheads for 3 offices or over £100K to invest into things people actually want instead of loading up on bureaucracy!

curly Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The law changed in 2008 - http://www.lgbce.org...ernance-reviewsA review can consider a number of issues, including:whether to create a new parishwhether to alter the boundary of an existing parishwhether to group a number of parishes together in a grouped parish councilLocal people can petition a principal council to undertake a community governance review. A principal council must undertake a review if the relevant conditions in relation to the petition are met.And I believe we only had one crack at that and when the question was asked it wasn't even put to the public? Also is it not the Boundary Commission who sets the boundaries? WDC suggested them at LGR. If we did have one council...... immediate saving..........2/3rds of the current staffing and overheads for 3 offices or over £100K to invest into things people actually want instead of loading up on bureaucracy!And most importantly the 3 parish councils now formed would have to want to reunite.........but everyones got there own powerbase and lets face it some parts of bedlington, others don't want to take on and some feel forgotton......no offence ment.
