Which would be my implied point merc…………..they haven't chosen to be page 3 models! Might as well sign a petition, Tonyp for President of the United States of Europe!

Really Tony??????????

No I'm not GGG, I'm just admiring skin tones!

I don't mind looking at naked young ladies, not interested at all in looking at naked young men, so as far as I can see there is one better suited for the job than the other? .............. Simple isn't it?

This...........

In english now please GGG!

Andromeda as seen from Hubble...........

Good posts Pilgrim!

I see the builders are back...........

Done Pete.............

Bit more focus on the East West boundary...ex B Lefthand side of the blue line is WBTC.

As asked for by Ex Bedlington but it might be useful for everyone. Trying to get one with a bit more focus on the boundary between East and West councils.

Can't believe only Sym knew it was Aneurin Bevan, surly one of your heroes Tonyp?

Christopher, its probably county owned (if I understand where it is you are asking about) just ask the councty council.

Reptiles, watchers, spacemen.............. http://in5d.com/the-watchers-those-who-have-come-through-the-gates/

Sorry Chris been a tad busy. Anyway, yes County hall or to be more exact the planning department.

I did the same merc but a few bits I really wanted to see live and hold............can't do that online!

Don't see why we can't have thriving shops merc? I do think there is a hell of a lot of work to do to get there mind but with the right people and attitude I don't see why we can't get the masses of people who live in these new houses we have seen emerge in Bedlington over the last 30 years to use Front Street and its shops. First thing of course you have to get the correct shop offer then a joined up effort to winkle people out of their homes and actually walk down the street to see what they are missing. Then make it habitual! Smaller contemporary service sector and niche retailers would be my initial thoughts at present.

Trying to do 'our' bit merc....... http://bdt.bedlington.co.uk/blog/bedlington-info-blog

Merc, As I said I think we are on the same page here but I don't see why Bedlington can't be the very best dormitory town and have the very best facilities of any in the country! We can't turn the tide back but what we can do is channel it in the most advantageous way for ourselves. I don't see why we can't have a thriving shop sector and I don't see why we can't have some recreational facilities for adults and our youngsters! We do need some innovative plans and mass community support but I don't think it's impossible. Course with so many imponderables it might be a case of………………….

Thinking that might be on the cards anyway Adam! I know there is talk of it, I suppose its a case of watch that space.......literally.

So do I Maggs, so do I!

Second last line is what I kept at them about. There is a part which says........ infrastructure for new developments, but what was talking about initially was physical infrastructure, roads, paths, drains etc. I asked them to consider social infrastructure, schools, doctors, leisure and commercial infrastructure to support any new development. Hope they took it all on board!

Normally County Council Christopher. Thats where to ask........

Merc,..I'm kinda with you on your main point, I take it as a compliment people want to come and live in Bedlington and buy a house here. Or developers think they do anyway! The objection I have is that there isn't any infrastructure to support the community 25 years ago never mind now. Lack of recreational avenues and no investment into the commercial offer have left us hopelessly mismatched as a viable Town.
