Couldn't agree more with that one Palance, this is what the Bedlington people have got from the current Administration while a neighbouring town (the home town of the Ashington MP)  is seeing Millions of pounds worth of Investment.

Picture taken during rush hour !!!

Have a Guddin,  wish I was 29 today! 

Cambois has a very good Facebook Page lots of info on there.

Fantastic picture, lets hope NCC Planning don't get their eye on it,  there's a couple of green patches there not had a mention yet. 

Spotted this morning,  Hopefully a bit publicity for the cause.

..Ian Lavery must be licking his lips in anticipation of a another  all be it smaller labour victory

His aim at the moment is to get his  Ashington  footy team back into the cup competition that they've been kicked out of for fielding an illegible player. An appeal to the FA is pending  so Bedlingtons issues will have to go on the back burner while, just like an industrial dispute that took place thirty years ago, he "Fights for Justice"  

Who are all these houses being built for I wonder, will we need them if we leave the EU? 

Are you sure it was made up Smudge? I heard from a good source that  Ling managed to drop his Granny Kam off at the Dun Cow  Quay and she opened the Kam Tong restaurant in Blyth. I was told that story from Someone who doesn't tell  porkys  in fact the same guy went on to become an MP. In the meantime think we better get back on course.

Could I draw on your vast knowledge of languages Canny lass and ask,

 Does it have as many meanings as NOT?  ie

 Not getting anything,  Not ever had anything,  Not answering any of your questions,  Not had time to visit  Bedlington,  the money's  NOT coming here it's going to Ashington  and I'll  NOT be sorry to see the back of them. 

I'm not sure if this should be in this thread  or in the Good Jokes Column but if there's anyone from  Camp Bastion reading this, and I know you all do, could you please Justify or enlighten me on the Last Sentence.?...... Thanking you in anticipation!

I'f you look at the envelope now Smudge you'll have a red marker on it,  click  there to see your message. 

Click on the small  icon that looks like an envelope at top right of your screen ( but to the left of your user name) and follow on screeen instructions

Smudge,   I've got the book if you want it PM me.

 Remember the Tesco fiasco?

I would prefer to remember that as the  Tescogate Scandal. They're still not answering when asked "did you sell the Gap Site, and if so where's the money" ? 

Pete,

The Council must have double standards if the told you  "Any  changes would have to fit in with the Conservation Area Policy." Take a look a few yards further down the street and still within the Conservation Area to see what has been passed by the same people. I'm sure you and everyone else know the two sites that I refer to. If they say that they regard "Modern double glazing as an unacceptable change" then why have they given permission to an Estate Agent to remove three stone pillars and single windows from the former HSBC bank to be replaced with a Single Seventies style window to accommodate their advertising Bumf.  You say you are Semi Retired so I'll assume you have plenty time on your hands to engage in any building work, we'll don't worry about meeting any deadlines,  there's stiff competition here  for who finishes last between the Builders of the two sites I mentioned. To be perfectly honest you probably wouldn't have a look in with these two. I heard a rumour recently that the building being erected on the former Elliots Garage Site will need re-wiring before its complete. (Brussels) 

Maggie,

              I wish some of the Buildings in Bedlington  WOULD disappear, typical examples would be a Half built care home, and a  Derelict School, followed by the current  M P,  the leader of NCC,  and at least one of our County Councillors who shall remain unnamed,  but  he does not attend the Town Council Meetings and is commonly known locally as The Invisible Man.

"....a  t*****s out  Massage Parlour...."

 

mmm, interesting business idea......

Not a good idea Merc, I've already tried it and I went  "Bust"    

You might want to pick over this………..the great NCC redevelopment of the County……………………… Guess what for Bedlington…. knock the council offices down and build more houses!!!!!!!!!! http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=6270&article=3789

My main concern would be what could the planners allow next for the conservation area. We're already stuck with a Care Home, (part built after ten years) that nobody other than the developer wants and we're going to get apartments (eventually after ten years) that nobody other than the developer wants. NCC don't listen to the Bedlington people and looking at their past record we could end up with anything from a  t*****s out  Massage Parlour to Garden Allotments, the only thing we can be sure of is, if any money is realized from the sale  of the Council Offices Site it  Will end up in Ashington. 

Can't imagine the local MP would want to sign it Reedy, he would prefer any available money to be channelled into Ashington. However there will be an announcement sometime in the near future about plans for Bedlington,..... could be this week.....just in time for an election.

Why don't you wait until people are finished collecting signatures before making negative comments?
