I had to show my UK passport to UK customs when I last used the Chunnel and I was in France when I had to produce it!!!!!!!!
It was a division of a south coast constabulary.
And a very warm welcome they gave me!
Yes Eggy its a WBTC project. We are doing all of ours this year!
Canny lass, trying to tie the Town in with a corporate colour scheme so our area will be easily identified through branding.
More of that to come!
Our Bus Shelter renewal project has started.
Some new ones in places where there have never been shelters before but where residents have identified as being needed!
Why can't we have been more like 'canny' Iceland!

West Bedlington Town Council have always been keen to listen to resident views and as part of that interaction decided to set up a Youth Council so the views, hopes and aspirations of our younger community members could also be given a voice.
Commissioning Leading Link to facilitate this new improvement in community interaction the Mayor and Deputy Mayor have been working closely with the younger members of this new group and both agree what a fantastic bunch of youngsters we have here!
One of the first real tasks was to get them to produce lists of their wants and needs as far as developing the Town goes. Not only did we get lists off them personally they also petitioned all of their schools too, so now we have a very in depth directory based on popularity of choice.
WBTC is pleased to welcome this new addition to our representative process and we are looking forward to the presentation they will be giving us on February 9th, 4.30-6.00pm at Bedlington Community Centre.
We welcome any adults keen to see what our children would like to show us!
West Bedlington Town Council, always keen to promote the interests of its residents have this time teamed up with the Department of Work and Pensions to put on a Jobs Fair in the town.
If you want to find out more just come along on the day.........
Haven’t read through the topic yet but there is possibly a simple reason for those stats.
For years the cops have come along to our council meetings and Forum meetings telling us that the crime stats were down. All about the ‘fear of crime’ remember that one! I knew from personal experience that the last thing the cops wanted to do was give you a crime number and the only way to get one for a relatively ‘low’ crime was for an insurance claim.
Well guess what, those stats have been used against them to justify cuts in the service!
Now anything will get a crime number (directives from Chief Constables and I assume Crime Commissioners) to drive numbers up and show more cops are in fact needed!
For my take I think we are about to see the REAL crime figures in areas for the first time!
