You should try chairing a services meeting and keeping everyone happy, that's not an easy task.

Just to let the public know who have never been to a full council meeting before, they can last 1-2 hours if the agenda is short and 3-4 if it is long depends what is on the agenda at the time and as well how many Councillors attend, under this proposal all business will go to full council meaning the agenda will be very long.

Sorry Maggie, It is the NCC Core strategy options consultation which looks at all sorts of different things, Greenbelt, Housing etc. and the next full West Bedlington Town council meeting is on the 12th December a few matters on the agenda, which will be uploaded on the council website and Facebook page. Also about the Publicity we are sorry this is an issue we are looking to resolve ASAP.

That is the Question Keith.

It is the Dr Pit colliery Banner.

North Ridge and Ridge Terrace were back to normal by 2.30pm Nobody was hurt and business was as normal at the school.

Nelson Mandela a great leader and man of the people, he will be missed by all.

I wonder who the person is in the black coat on the third photo, He very looks familiar.

The only thing that could be done to maybe save the school/church hall is for the county council to try a compulsory purchase order. But that costs a lot of money, however a County Councillor has stated that at the entrance to St Benet Biscop one of the houses there could be compulsory purchased then knocked down to allow the buses to enter easier. So the County Council does have money for a compulsory purchase order but I doubt they are interested in the old School/church hall.

For those who don't know Tesco's Planning permission runs out in February 2014, Hopefully if the planning runs out Tesco's will have to hand the land back under the agreement they have, but I will not hold my breath.

Don't let them near it have you seen the cars they have there , they were good when they went there now there wrecks. And i should know I have been there for 4 years.

Light Snow starting for the Light switch on will be great, it is in the forecast so it must be true .

The Choice will be announced on the Night, so make sure your down the market place for the night. It is an event that you don't want to miss.

Yes there is a meeting on the 10th December at 6.00pm at Bedlington Community Centre, it is the Bedlington In Bloom Committee and is open to anyone, feel free to come along if you want any Information on the Bedlington In Bloom committee feel free to Contact West Bedlington Town Council. Details are here: http://www.westbedlington.org.uk/?page_id=310

Well you heard it for the horses mouth foxy that if Tesco's don't make a move by February 2014 their planning Permission is out the window and hopefully we get the Gap Site and car park back, Malcolm has been pushing this and I will be backing him up on it.

Maybe, Maybe not foxy. 65 letters of objection, 2 letters of Neutral (not support or objecting) and 4 letters of support. Can't see how the county can give permission with the public being against the development with a ratio of about 10/1 against it, same with the planning inspectorate with the public and the local town council against the development I can't see how they as well can give permission. I still can't understand how Anthony Rutherford could not use Solar Power he would not have need planning permission for that as far as i know and if he did it would have been passed because nobody would have seen them and objected to them. But keep an eye on it: http://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=details&keyVal=MP3L8GQS2L000

Must not have wanted you to get distracted Malcolm.

Interesting the Bedlington Terrier at the End of the Advert. Is Volkswagen getting advice off the county council, Bedlington comes last?

Vote Blue, Go Green. Wonder who said that? But they are greedy, global Gas prices have not went up this year yet gas bill have? That was from a energy provider not me.

Well looks like the Tories are trying to win votes with miners now after playing politics with their jobs in the 80's and 90's: http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-24954274 If you watch the video he avoids the question: "Won't people working here think its a bit of cheek for a chancellor, a conservative chancellor to come to a mine, when many miners blame your party for pit closures?"

The date of the switch on is the 5th December.

Yes we are in charge of the Christmas lights and tree, but I heard tonight Leading link have been told to close the road because there is going to be a large crowd at the event.

Very good find maggie we need more people like you to find and tell the history for this great county.
