Bedlington in Street View Post any humorous sightings in this thread.

I think we can do that now some people have some established reputation. The main issue is the people who like to give negative rep are usually more active than those giving praise. The only way to stop this would be to maybe limit the number of negative reps per day? and block/warn anybody that abuses it? I'll bring it back as a trial run.

I think there's a lot of truth in that but we've let them get that way.

It is encouraging that we at least now seem to be talking with each other in reasonable numbers.

Have to agree. Too much mud slinging to wade through to get to any substance. Not that there is any.

I actually sent an email in connection with the gates this morning. That is very unfortunate timing. I hope the recipient doesn't think the latest news is was what prompted me to email.

What about the new car registration tax as well? Introduce a "scrappage scheme" that manufacturers/dealers just absorb then slap on a "new car registration tax" while people are blinkered by it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head the Symptoms. I think it's more of the complacency we've been talking about. The town's residents seem to be very dejected at the moment. Fortunately there does seem to be a glimmer of hope with a few people starting to make noises, the original poster and some of the newer members included.

I've just finished installing the new classifieds section. This should be a huge improvement over the previous software and adverts are now more closely integrated with users accounts. Unfortunately some of the ads from the old system will not be available as I couldn't work out who some of them belonged to. If your ad is no longer appearing send me a pm and I'll move it over for you. Don't forget to post pictures with your ads. Pictures have been proven to vastly improve the chances of items selling.

At a Northumberland County Council executive meeting this afternoon, March 8th, council were asked to support a submission for a new Academy School for Bedlington. Councillor Andrew Tebbutt agreed this support in principle but stated there was a need to consider any budgetary implications. Working group partners have been identified and it was agreed to support and move the project on. An Academy is a school that is publicly funded with some private sponsorship but remains independent of local authority control. Since their introduction in 2000 they have been met with mixed reactions over their effectiveness. Supporters of the schools point to benefits such as improved GCSE results and an increase in innovative and creative methods of solving local issues. Critics claim they are costly, ineffective and a ruse to enable the privatisation of the education system. They also regularly come under attack due to the pupil selection criteria they employ. Speaking about the proposed Bedlington Academy, Councillor Reed said he hoped this initiative would address some of the underlying social problems parts of Bedlington experience, some of which are in the top 10% most deprived areas in the country. -
