I am from Bedlington and do not consider myself to be from West or East Bedlington only Bedlington. The Trotter Memorial, St Cuthberts Church, Daniel Gooch are related to the history of Bedlington as are the Market Cross and Bedlington Ironworks. There appears to be a dispute over the relocation of the memorial monument and for what it is worth my view is that nobody would know what it is if it was moved to the centre of a busy roundabout. I therefore agree with the view of Moe19 and Newbedders. Should such a move be considered, debated and argued over so much when we can not ensure Bedlington has an accessible public toilet for visitors to the town. I know that Malcolm is kept very busy however should his efforts be limited to the moving of monuments, painting railings and the Bedlington Terrier seats. Perhaps we should refer the decision to Arch or is that being cynical and negative. The vote for Brexit and Donald Trump has shaken up the powers in Whitehall and Washington however we appear to have little chance of shaking up the authorities at NCC if we residents dwell on the relocation of the Trotter Memorial Fountain.

"Keep off the grass" signs then? If not I still have two legs; but maybe these days you can't do anything anywhere without ramps for electric thingies? My first encounter with the Trott would have been punctuated with dogging the top-of-town traffic, and - if I remember rightly - it was plumbed in to the water supply for some unfathomable reason. A "grassy knoll" would have been a stonking safety feature in those non-H&S days! I meant sidelined as far a presentation to through traffic and visitors of course! Bedlingtonians ALWAYS knew who it was and why it was, but these days it probably needs a Bluetooth beacon so they don't have to look up from their screens?

How on earth could that possibly be? It's pretty tragically sidelined now, and it used to be a prominent feature, saying to everyone "you have arrived in Bedlington and we have a significant heritage!". Moving it was one of those late twentieth century acts of civic vandalism that we sort of got used to. How sure are we of the precise original location, and who will determine this?

Article 50 was designed 'NEVER to be used' - says the man who wrote the EU divorce clause "When it comes to the economy they have to lose.” Hmm... what a truly marvellous club to belong to!
