An Indoor Market was tried down Bedlington Station and I have been lead to believe it has now died a death but I could have been misinformed. However the Market Traders did say to me yesterday that the weather plays a major part in the income of the market so indoors sounds like a good idea on their part.

Is it me or has the Thursday Market Improved in the sense of goods sold, even though there are only three traders left?

Clive Johnson does not seem to be in a rush to do anything even tidy up the Ashington Shop, to sum it up the council trip/landfill is more tidy then his Ashington Shop.

Not with me Malcolm, As I was not sure.

Sorry Malcolm have to beat you here. Would not mind this one landing in my back garden. Miranda Lawson my first game crush. Plus best thing she is modelled off a real Person.

I thought this would be your cat Keith?

What they going to sell off this time?

It is know as the old church hall to some, others call it the old school depends who you speak to eggy but it is the building between the market place club and the St Cuthberts church.

The development is not valid as I see it, the demolition order has the post code of the house behind the top end dentists on it, and the planning application has front street west on it when it is church lane, the planning of the development is completely and utterly wrong and the planners should have seen that. (Saying that they can't see anything I wrote into them about Elliots garage and the address being of the hairdressers next to watsons papershop but they gave the all clear to it.) Also the developer put in three planning appliations, if i remember right it was keep the original building and build three house behind it, keep the original building and build flats behind and the one that was given permission was for 39 flats with the orginal building demolised. However the building is important the our history like the listed buildings in the area like the vicarage, the old barclays bank and st cuthberts some of which have been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair.

Completely agree with you Jack, NCC should be shot for letting it go ahead via a poor turnout by them at the planning appeal, one member of the planning department and one member of legal services, that was all that was there to try and stop it, the developer had a top legal team from London there.

I don't think it will be used very much and knowing the county council they will more then likely be removed and sent to Ashington.

Just so everyone know Miller Homes are wanting to build houses on the farm land at the bottom of church lane (next to the 20 aches). There is a public consultation about the plans going on at Bedlington Community Centre on 23rd of April 3pm - 7pm.

Looks like Parking eye is to be scrapped, about time. http://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/local-news/decision-reached-over-hospital-parking-1-6547205

A sad moment was announced today (7th April) that Mickey Rooney has Died after a long illness. I am a fan of Mickey Rooney's performance's in all the films and TV Series he was in, he was one of the best and he will be sadly missed, he will never be replaced, Rest In Peace Mickey Rooney.

7/10 but i would not say I am a geordie I am a northumbrian.

They need to do something with Bedlington Council offices before building a new set in Ashington, Mainly pull down the old council offices in Bedlington (eye sore) and replace with a new more befitting heritage council offices,Like the one they pulled down to build the current one.

Shows the person "David" has no respect for other peoples property, disgraceful conduct.

We can guess who the next Bond Girl is going to be Keith.

Can't stop listening to this song don't know why, Maybe because they don't make them like this anymore.

Could they not have given us (bedlington) the extra £1 million?

If i had moved back a bit there would have been a wild barrier.

I think it is the flat above, just had a look at Louis Johnson's website to try and find it listed it is not, however looks like the old jewelers is up for sale. Have a look. http://www.louis-johnson.co.uk/property.php?property=372

Could this be the future for Bedlington somewhere you can get anything you need? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26689424

The Power station at Cambois which is Bedlingtonshire was worth £300 million to the local economy which was lost, we lost £1 million from the "Sale" of the gap site and car park to Tescos and of course £500,000 lost from the sale of the golf course. So all together we have lost £301,500,000.

Ok so situation so far since 2009 (end of WDC) The investment in the area (rough figures): Ashington £145 million, Blyth £2 million, Cramlington £3 million, Bedlingtonshire -£301,500,000. and the figures in the area are rising while Bedlingtonshire keeps falling. So who is saying everywhere else gets the money and Bedlingtonshire gets nothing? I don't know EVERYONE!
